Le Couperet is a Belgian-French-Spanish (2005) film. The English title of this film is The Axe.

Directed by Costa Gavras and starring José Garcia, Karin Viard and Olivier Gourmet, Le Couperet is a thrilling adaptation of the novel The Ax by Donald E. Westlake. The film follows the "hero", Bruno D. (Garcia), trying to do the right thing but having no choice than to take the wrong path.

Garcia's character is a middle-aged, middle-class, and middle-management positioned executive in paper industry who suddenly becomes unemployed. Surprisingly, his methods of competing in the work-force market are everything but ordinary.
