Countdown (IV) (2012)
8/10
Excellent horror thriller with a difference
29 May 2013
Rarely does a film of limited location keep an audience enthralled. This movie for David Asavanond (Jesus - "hey-sus genius") as the lead, is his true break out film. I worked with David in 2004 on Tom Yum Goong with Tony Jaa and again 2005 in Shadow Island and to say he has come of age is what I believe is a man with exceptional talent. He followed his craft - went to the US and was trained by the best in NY. It's his time.

The storyline is interesting - a group of university kids who wish to experience drugs as the new year countdown is upon them. What follows drags the viewer into the room with Jesus and thankfully leaves you just out of range. Thoroughly recommend this film and watch as David and his co actors Jarinporn Joonkiat, Pattarasaya Kreuasuwansri and Pachara Chirathivat are taken for the ride of their life.

Slow, oh so slow

Good lighting, lousy editing, poor sound and yawn... did I mention slow? Director is in keeping with most Thai films i.e. they do not know how to keep the pace of the story going and edit points are always way past their 'use by' date. At any rate, it was 'almost' entertaining.
