If you want to bore yourself to death for 2 hours.... give it a go?
I found this movie by a recommendation and decide to give it a go, after finding the page on MDL.Truth be told I was expecting something different... despite the genre and tags presented.
It's like a poorly attempt at a dark comedy thriller, only it has a few corny jokes and some forced satire of thriller/horror with numerous sound effects to break into the serious moments. Just when you think it is getting serious or down to business there it goes once again, and the abuse of anti-climatic music is astonishing to say the very least.
It's also very slow paced for an almost 2 hour movie which may become boring at some given points. The plot itself had potential, but both the storyline and the characters aren't worth it in the end. It does not move or engage the viewer who sees it, in fact there were many times where even I felt like skipping scenes and see what was ahead or if I should drop it before falling asleep on top of the keyboard (mind it the sound effects here probably wouldn't let me anyway)
The motives for the killings and all the plot twists while trying to be creative wasn't all that engaging or dim worthy for me. It seemed mostly cliché and a total mess. And even though the detail of the victims belongings being placed like tokens into that toy that was special to the killer felt like a nice touch there, it's nothing we haven't seen before into stories like this one, right?
Also... talk about bad timings, with the phone going on at the crucial moment ever.
Anddddd... that is probably why I usually keep mine on silent mode, so I guess am safe.
Office work sure is a dangerous profession nowadays huh, not even the paper is spared in there.
The cinematography is not entirely bad, and I like the overall color scheme here. Mostly neutral colors and plenty of red or dark climatic scenes, they tried to set the mood for both genres they were trying to convey. And yet the background music annoyed me in many moments, it's overly used and settled to break into comical relief but it also creates the illusion that something big is bound to happen... and then.... it doesn't.
It's not the best and certainly not the worst movie I've seen.
But would be something I would see again? No. Definitely not.

Neither funny nor thrilling
45 minutes in, and I noticed that I did not care about the serial killer. I did not care if he even existed or if it was [spoiler]. I did not care about the company's new marketing, I did not care about the three main characters.Ten minutes later, and I noticed that I did not care how the movie would end. So I stopped watching.
I admit, in the beginning, I did laugh a few times -- and then the jokes either were of the same category or I did not even notice them.
There was no tension, the "scary" scenes never were exciting, let alone thrilling.
Scenes were often too slow, or not contributing to the story -- why should I be interested in how they market their shirts(? I think they make shirts.)? And I say this as someone who has a high tolerance for slow pacing, if it's done with purpose.
Come on, there are excellent Thai comedies, and great Thai thrillers! You know how to do it!
Two good aspects:
* Three woman in main roles.
* Very good acting, especially of the Boss.
