YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Eran Innocently enough, we thought we'll be watching a Thai thriller/action movie. The movie starts quite odd, but that's OK - it's a Foreign Film, after all. The movie starts with a recently-fired woman who finds a large sum of money on her doorstep. She intends to keep the money at all costs - and since she's not the brightest in the bunch, it leads to all sort of stupid acts taking place. A screenplay writer over here once wrote that you can have only one "act of God" to start the plot - but you can't have "coincidences" all over the place to help you push the plot forward. This movie had some funny moments and some unexpected moments. However, in overall, it looks like the Thai director just created scenes that look like ones from an American thriller of the same type (Money, two groups of gangsters, murders and bodies) without understanding how to do it gracefully. The outcome is very weird at beast, usually just horrible to watch. I say - spare those two hours from your life and watch something else.
rnekic Although not one of the newer films, 69 turned out to be one of my favorites of this year's Cleveland International Film Festival. Funny and clever without veering into being overly wacky. You've seen this kind of set-up before but you've never seen such consequences! This is a top-notch black comedy.Possible spoiler below: The film is vastly entertaining despite one nagging question that loomed in my head as I watched events unfold: Tum, the next time a million baht shows up on your doorstep - invest in a hammer and a nail! Poor girl, it could have spared you a lot of hassle!
k_varut None of my friends, here in Bangkok, said they like the film. My taste might be different but I think Ruang Talok 69 (the Joke 69) is really good. My reason is that it is a strong and good satire of life in Bangkok and the Thai culture. The Asian financial crisis in 1997, the boxer gangsters (they wear Muay Thai jackets), the rural guy who misses his mom, the sadistic wife, the obscene phone call, etc. all are somehow relating to real situations and real people here. You might be surprised to learn that in Bangkok there are a lot of actual cases of Thai wives cutting their husbands'..... eh, you know which part I'm talking about. These kind of things so weird and don't make any sense but they are what we face in our daily life. Thai people are so used to them that we sometimes forgot to realize how non-sense they are. So non-sense that it's actually funny. And it's great to see it mocked so tastefully in this movie. I liked this movie a lot. And when I read the comments, I was glad to know some other people liked it too.
elestor I recently watched this movie in a local theatre after hearing the director could be considdered "Thailand´s Quentin Tarantino". I was expecting a fast-paced crime story with sharp dialogues and a lot of gunfire, like Lock Stock and 2 smoking barrels or Pulp Fiction. But 6ixtynin9 isn´t like that at all. It´s not a Hollywood picture, it´s a lot slower, the dialogues are quite short, it´s quite stylish though. The story could easily be used for a Hollywood flic though; a girl finds al lot of cash in front of her door. Ofcourse the bad guys come looking for it and from there everything gets worse and worse. The movie ain´t bad but it could have been a lot better, the plot is quite good but the jokes, the acting, it´s just too slow for my taste.
