Movie from Thailand about a killer doing his job... i.e. killing ! By mixing flashbacks, an expected love story, a tragic end, and a lot of killing the director managed to create a very boring and unsurprising movie. Add to that some non-sense some slow motions - Asiatic directors simply love it - and you have a less than second rate violent movie.
I guess the biggest challenge that the director succeeded in overcoming was in making the killings last for almost 2 hours. If this is the type of movie that Asia enjoys then it is rather sad, depressing, gloom and boring.
I have just read the review of another IMDB member and did not find this movie well directed at all nor did I learn anything about Thailand. Did he really watch the same movie ? This one was classified 18 (i.e. for adults only) and does not contain an ounce of information on what Thailand is really like (unless of course Thailand is a country full of murderers and assassins). If Thailand is like in the movie then corpses must pile up in the toilets !
Violence to the extreme is not sufficient to make a decent movie, and this one definitively lack of all the ingredients to make it even watchable. My advise: stay home and read a book.
