No Other Choice

It seems the Koreans are not alright: after Parasite and Squid Game, another work of art coming out of Korea that paints the nation as filled with people that feel they have to kill their compatriots to support their families. Alternatively, what does it say about the West’s cultural moment that these seem to be the only Korean movies/shows blowing up? No Other Choice is based on an American novel; the plot thickens.

Reflections on cultural moments aside, this is a great movie! Beautiful shots, plenty of well-done imagery, good pacing, and great balance of comedy and drama.
