Crime Kings

About This Movie

Crime Kings (1998) dives into the post-WWII chaos of Siam, capturing that gritty atmosphere you’d expect from a criminal underworld narrative. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, oscillating between moments of intense action and quieter, more reflective scenes that delve into the moral complexities of its characters. The performances, especially from the lead portraying Bai, bring a raw edge to the film, embodying that mix of menace and charisma. The practical effects, while not always polished, have a certain charm that adds to the film's authenticity. It's a distinctive piece for anyone interested in action and crime dramas that don’t shy away from the darker sides of humanity.
