1/10
What a waste of time!
30 December 2006
Innocently enough, we thought we'll be watching a Thai thriller/action movie. The movie starts quite odd, but that's OK - it's a Foreign Film, after all. The movie starts with a recently-fired woman who finds a large sum of money on her doorstep. She intends to keep the money at all costs - and since she's not the brightest in the bunch, it leads to all sort of stupid acts taking place. A screenplay writer over here once wrote that you can have only one "act of God" to start the plot - but you can't have "coincidences" all over the place to help you push the plot forward. This movie had some funny moments and some unexpected moments. However, in overall, it looks like the Thai director just created scenes that look like ones from an American thriller of the same type (Money, two groups of gangsters, murders and bodies) without understanding how to do it gracefully. The outcome is very weird at beast, usually just horrible to watch. I say - spare those two hours from your life and watch something else.
