Park Chan-wook’s firecracker of a film is based on The Ax, the darkly comic novel by the great mystery writer (and former part-time Columbia County resident) Donald Westlake. Squid Game star Lee Byung-hun plays an out-of-work South Korean man on an increasingly nihilistic mission. Park’s darkly comic thriller is as wild and audacious as his earlier films Handmaiden, Decision to Leave, and his cult-making classic Oldboy.
