Review:
When I saw this movie's trailer, I really had high expectation on this since I really like thriller kind of movie like Scream, Saw, etc. This kind of movie always surprises me at the end with its twist. and it's worth watching for me. I haven't watched a really good Thai thriller yet but this one is challenging. Let me review it part by part. :)

The story tells us about a serial killer who always murders his victims and slices it to pieces then outs it in the red luggage, big one. This homicides captures national attentions when the son of a politician also be the victim. The police who responsible with this homicides comes to dead-end. He has to find a way to solve this case in 15 days before he gets punished. He asked Tai, a prisoner who may have a clue about this Serial Killer. This case may connects to Tai's past. And finally at the last part of the movie, he discovers the biggest surprise ever for himself about who is the serial killer and what's his motive exactly. The story goes along so well. It may be a bit confusing because sometimes the story goes to the past and then to the present time, it happens a lot , maybe a whole part of this movie. The plot gradually peels the killer’s monster identity to reveal an abused child whose childhood has been permanently scarred by bullies, beating, and sexual abuses. His first murder was an act of self-protection, and what he has gone through makes us understand why he seeks an all-out revenge on those who has taken his childhood away. Tai, the closest friend of the killer, also gets a multidimensional treatment, as his own scarred childhood and insecurity sometimes sabotage the relationship. The plot keeps the audience alerted and thrilled as Tai chases the killer and confronts the past. And the climax scene adds a real great shocking twist to the already fascinating storyline.
The scenery is really beautiful, I don't know where the scenes takes place, nut the scenery at their childhood village is beautiful. A mountain with many reeds and grasses. In the dark, it seems a bit scary but still it's beautiful in the morning.
For the acting, I will give my credit to almost all the actors. They are really good at acting and plays their own character. Especially, that two kids who play Tai and Nut (at their childhood time) are really amazing. They are young but their talents are incredible. They really put their efforts into their character. They built it really well so that the audiences may feel the rage, the sadness between those kids. You must feel thrilled and sad along the movie. Arak Amornsupasiri who plays adult Tai and his wife Noi also are incredible actor/actress. They all make me feel really into that way when I am in their position. At the last scene of the movie, you will witness a scene that make you can't choose either of the options, just like the actor/actress did.
The weakness of this movie for me is its time turns too fast, it doesn't show you the part what are Tai and Nut did before Nut was a serial killer and Tai was in a prison, also had a relationship with Noi, after their all childhood things. How and why they all change after that childhood time. I hope the story was not fast-forward to adulthood too quickly at the end.
Overall, this movie really doesn't need much effects to make it perfect. The story and the acting itself give it all to make it incredible and awesome. It proves that Kongkiat Khomsiri is a great director, great story maker. This movie is masterpiece, beautifully done by him and his actor/actress. Well done and can't wait for his next movies. The inside I can take is children need to be taken care really well, they really need love. Because if it's not, well, it may grow up to be a serial killer. For you all who is the thriller fans, you've got to catch this one. It's just like saw movies packed in real great story. :D
Good points:
- The story is great, the plot develops really well
- The actors who play kid Tai and kid Nut are incredibly awesome.
- The scenery, the mountain is beautiful
Bad points:
- It is felt like the story was turned from childhood to adulthood too quickly at the end
Rating: 8.0/10.0
