The Ax - 2005 - 7/10
AKA - Le Couperet
Nifty French thriller.
Chemist loses his job to downsizing and outsourcing.
After two years, he remains unemployed.
He determines who his likely competitors are and decides to winnow the field.
Very black comedy grows grimmer and darker.
Based on Donald Westlake’s “The Ax.”
Themes, far ahead of their time, still resonate today.
Especially if your job search isn’t going so well.
