2006-Horror/Thriller/Foreign
The saying goes that you shouldn't look at a book by its cover. The cover I saw at my local Walmart didn't do this film justice. It was more of a 'Saw' like cover(Below).
So by finding the 'International' version, (Left) This image would be better suited for the film.
Synopsis:
After being fired from his job as a salesman in Bangkok, Chit is in need of money to support his lifestyle and family. He receives a mysterious phone call asking Chit to do 13 tasks, each one more extreme than the other. How far does he go to live the life he thinks he deserves.
All-in-All:
Totaly unexpected plot, especialy coming from an unknown unproven country like Thailand. The story of a 'down on his luck' innocent guy given a horrible choice to make a change in his life is a story that i can never get enough of. Possibly its because of the theme hitting so close to home, forcing the viewere to think, how much money or what would i give up to get something i truly think i deserve. This film handles that topic properly and with justice, withough getting to the absurd and mearly getting on with the sensless killing/shock treatment. Sure there are lots of loose plot threads, and key directing/story telling mistakes but hay, this came from a country that is new to the Cinema Arts.
Riko's Rating: B
