| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzNever seems to get on a coherent meaningful track. |
| Filmcritic.comDon Willmottwhat could have been a deep and introspective movie becomes a follow-the-stolen-drugs-through-the-crowded-streets action flick |
| User ReviewMatthew CA truly amazing film... 4 totally random strangers living in a hotel in Bangkok. All connected by 1 boy Wit a local boy who works there doing errands but also helping himself to whats left around. Rosa has an amazing bit of duologue about 3/4 of the way thru... a thoroughly decent film throughout although a sad ending. |
| User ReviewCoryGreat movie, but if you are not too bright, you will be lost. |
| User ReviewClara RA predecessor to Babel and crash, with intricate stories and delicious plots. |
| User ReviewJohn TThis was filmed very well. It looked so good. |
| User ReviewAndrew MAT first I found the non linear story telling a little confusing, but I quickly got used to it and found it an interesting technique. This film is very well shot and some scenes verge on the beautiful, even while they are depicting ugly things. The child actor is fantastic in this and the adult leads are more than capable in their roles. I watched this because the screen play was written by one of my favourite authors. Here his writing style is minimal, but realistic. I would dearly love to see some of his own novels dramatised well. |
| User ReviewEvelyn MAny film that begins with flies shagging and people coming out of the walls shooting is alright with me! |
| User ReviewRobert VIf The Beach inspired millions to descend on Thailand, this could make the rest stay at home. Stripped of hedonistic gloss, this is the seedy side of Thailand, featuring drugs, prostitution, homelessness and child labour. Amid that backdrop is a clever, low-fi thriller and an interesting look at how our actions can affect those who we think are not connected to us. |
| User ReviewPhilip SGreat complicated plot-unravelling. Nice how it all comes together... or... falls apart... whichever... But not quite as good as I hoped I guess. |
