Definitely a great slice of life movie, as expected from Thailand.
The story revolves around Lynn, a genius who strays from the path of a model student. She uses her brilliant head to help "clients" getting a good score. Her cheating progresses quite fast since it started with a school exam to cross-country STIC (SAT). While it's really enjoyable to watch, the movie suffer from a few drawbacks.
First of would be the awkward acting. Some of them were so awkward to be taken seriously. I suspect its intended to suit the characters, but then it just going to produce a snicker when it supposedly making the audience grit their teeth or shed a tear. Though, in a way this makes the characters have quite the depth, like a smug, egoistic rich boy who always wear this annoying expression on his face. But the big drop in character delivered late in the movie, where a particular character have a 180 degree turnaround on their behavior, without a particular lead or a strong trigger. No, its not Lynn, its the other genius. This really disappoints me.
Characters aside, this movie got some really nice blood-pumping scenes, forcing you to hold tight on your seat while pondering what might happen next. A few of it got overdone though. While most of the scores matched perfectly, too many unnecessary posing makes my eyes rolled around more than once. I know they're supposed to be cool, but too much honey and you'll vomit, dear.
All in all, it's a really enjoyable movie to watch, especially for students approaching their exams, for some I-can-relate-with-that feeling. It's fresh, pretty fulfilling, and most likely you wont be disappointed having spent two hours watching this.
