In No Other Choice, the real job killer is this guy

Adapted from Donald Westlake's novel The Ax, No Other Choice captures - most delightfully and cathartically - the perpetual and unsolvable anxiety of living under an economic system built around extracting surplus value from its workers.

Most of you guys probably have some kind of home-movie-theater situation that allows you to see films without having to interact with the general public, but there's a lot of good stuff playing in theaters right now. We could meet up and catch Sentimental Value or maybe or, hey, there's that random little showing of Park Chan-wook's latest film, No Other Choice, that just so happens to be for Fortune 500 CEOs only. What a coincidence! You can see a movie and avoid the general public.
