Leinwandliebe Film Talk

The Ax follows a middle-aged manager who is laid off. Eighteen months later, and still unemployed, he puts a new spin on his job search — with agonizing care, he finds some men (spoilers ahead) in the surrounding area who could take the job that rightfully should be his, and systematically kills them. Transforming himself from mild-mannered middle manager to ruthless murderer, he discovers skills he never knew he had — and that come to him far too easily.
