No Other Choice & 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

The South Korean director Park Chan-wook made an international name for himself with "Oldboy," and he has continued to tackle edgy material. In this podcast episode, HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano talk about his new film, "No Other Choice." It's about a longtime paper company employee who is suddenly downsized and embarks on an extreme form of revenge. Marie and Mike agree that this dark comedy meanders and has an excessive running time, but it's disturbingly entertaining. Marie and Mike also talk about "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple." The fourth installment in this postapocalyptic zombie franchise, it's technically well-crafted and yet our critics are bothered by its relentlessly sadistic violence and think that much of what should be scary instead comes across as borderline camp. But Marie and Mike are enthusiastic about Ralph Fiennes' terrific performance as a doctor seeking a cure for whatever it is that has turned so many people into zombies. The good doctor sure has his work cut out for him.
