Other than the fact that it's from Thailand, there's nothing really unique or original about this low-budget thriller. It's slow-paced and predictable, with mediocre production values - and it often tries too hard to be funny. Lalita Panyopas is pretty good in the lead, but the rest of the performances were at best amateurish. It does get better towards the end, but most of the story is bland and derivative.
