Our take
A laid-off paper manager turns to violence in this Korean thriller, rated M for violence, language and some sexual content. Reviews describe guns, corpse disposal and dark humor. Mature crime satire for adults and older teens.
Uplifting themes
The satire targets systems rather than offering wholesome lessons
Story (may spoil tone)
After being laid off and humiliated by a ruthless job market, a veteran paper mill manager descends into violence in a desperate bid to reclaim his dignity.

Talk after watching
- Unemployment pushes the hero toward extremes. How does the film treat economic desperation?
