A wonderful comedic thriller. It's a great execution of an oft-tried but rarely successful type of plot.

Gangsters mistakenly deliver a large sum of cash to an unemployed secretary, and she decides to take a stand and keep it when they return to fix their error. The bodies pile up quickly in this fast paced Thai flick that is a quirky combination of crime/heist action with farce. Good stuff, it reminded me of Danny Boyle's Shallow Grave in the best possible way. The English title is really stupid though.

The English title is dumb as hell, but it's a fun movie of mistaken identity.

Terrible. I wish I had a time machine so I can go back and tell myself to avoid this goddamn movie. Very drawn out, and although there are moments that are promising, the entire film as a whole is a let down. This is the debut effort of the guy who also directed Last Life in the Universe, which is an absolute gem.

A clever story with genuinely funny moments throughout, so my attention was always kept, but the direction, among other things like the lead actress, felt uninspired.

"Its deadly punchlines suggest the archetypal "cosmic joke" with more emphasis on the tragic side of the tragedy-comedy continuum." - Eric Henderson

Ah, Asian cinema. You really sometimes can't decide between comedy and tragedy, can you? How am I supposed to sympathize with this girl as she mentally crumbles the deeper she crawls down the rabbit hole if you have her keep running to ye olde wicker basket shoppe to buy bigger rattan chests for the bodies which won't stop humorously piling up in her room? The slapstick anti-realism is about as effective as having the Eddie Murphy (of Norbert, not of 48 Hours) play Mr. Bean in Bean.

A very good comic thriller. Kind of a Thai version of A Simple Plan with a sense of humor. I'm trying to resist mentioning Tarantino, but it does seem like an influence.
