a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
This movie was put together well, written well, and performed well. The photography was better than many box office "smashes", and the story was emotionally affective and effective! The young cast (Arak Amornsupasiri as Phong,Vitsawa Thaiyanon as Kaa, Artikitt Prinkprom as Chi) performed admirably for the genre. The special effects were trim and did not distract but rather enhanced the overall appeal of this show. The cheesy aspect of the story of young victims receiving powers by which they can avenge themselves against there tormentors was vacated by it's being done to an emotionally charged crescendo. The opening scenes of the children being abused was shocking, terrible but ultimately underlay the seriousness of the whole movie. The subject was handled without apology. The song that Jarinya Sirimongkolsakul sings towards the end, as Kor-ya, was also effective. All in all it was emotionally satisfying, even sharable if it hits you the right way.
