REVIEWS
“A zany, all-out crowd-pleaser from Mr. Park, who exhibits a rare genius with the camera throughout, devising breathtaking shots, zooms and transitions, his cockeyed visual wizardry perfectly matched to the outlandishness of the plot.”
“A caustic portrait of the rat race as legitimately killer, and another feather in the cap of one of world cinema’s true maestros.”
“No Other Choice Isn’t just Park’s funniest film, but his most humane, too – and that’s quite something for a comedy as violent as this one.”
