Beyond all of the pacing and the technical prowess on display, it is Krissada Terrence whose portrayal of Chit really draws you in. There is a desperation to the performance as he has been pushed to the edge, yet struggles to keep his humanity intact. He has a look similar to that of Michael Douglas in Falling Down, and it's easy to view his businessman look as that of someone who could snap at a moment's notice. Still, he brings a lot of genuine emotion to the role and truly holds the film together.

The DVD is being released by The Weinstein Company's Genius Products through their Dimension Extreme imprint. It should be noted that not only did the Weinsteins purchase distribution rights for North America, but also remake rights. So, this could find its way in Americanized form to theaters at a moment's notice. And to tell you the truth, if any amount of effort is put into the project, it could turn out to be very strong indeed. If only they could get someone like Johnny Depp, Guy Pearce, or Ethan Hawke (that's right), this could dare try for excellence.

Audio/Video. The technical side of the film is strong. The video transfer is 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and is a fine transfer with accurate colors and no noticeable blemishes. The audio is presented in both its original Thai and English dub 5.1 tracks. Both are accurate and do a good job, even the dub is quite good.

Extras. The bonus materials are a bit limited, with only the original teaser and full trailers, and a seventeen minute making of featurette featuring interviews with the primary cast and crew accompanying finished, set, and rehearsal footage.

Bottom line. This is a very good film, one that works hard to hold your attention and play to a wide audience. It is definitely worth spending some time with as the depths of depravity are explored as the human condition is challenged by outside influences.

Highly Recommended.
