What people are saying
- Dr Nostromo
53/100 A Thai film featuring a character study of a cop who becomes a convict who becomes an assassin who gets shot in the head, and now sees the world upside-down, and who is now running from a past that wants to kill him. This is not an action thriller but rather a solid drama with some action in it. I was interested enough with the main character to enjoy the view but overall, it's slow and, at times, rather redundant. The upside-down world that he envisions because of his head injury is just a draw ...they don't really do much with it. -- DrNostromo.com
