About This Movie

The pacing is relentless, diving straight into the chaos of urban crime, showcasing practical effects that, while not always polished, have a certain charm that adds to the film's character. The performances are a mixed bag, with some characters really shining through their intensity, almost like they’re channeling their own struggles. It’s interesting to note how this film later transitioned into a TV series, but the original has this unique atmosphere that really encapsulates the era and the cultural backdrop of Thailand at the time.
