Happy weekend awesome peeps! I'm back with my movie review- a Thai's movie called 'Bad Genius'. I saw this movie last weekend and just did not have time to review It but here it is. This is my first time watching a Thai movie in cinema. My friend recommended to me this movie and I was reluctant at first but....... you can read my review below
Bad Genius
Trailer:
Sypnosis:
Lynn, a genius high school student who makes money by cheating tests, receives a new task that leads her to set foot on Sydney, Australia. In order to complete the millions-Baht task, Lynn and her classmates have to finish the international STIC(SAT) exam and deliver the answers back to her friends in Thailand before the exam takes place once again in her home count-Imdb
Verdict
4/5
As i said, I was reluctant at first, they are a lot of great movie released in August, why would I watch a Thai's movie?. Thank god I did thanks to my persistent friend. If you are not aware, Thai's makes a lot of good video commercial. Their commercials are often so creative and emotional. I guess that creativity also showed in creating this movie.
My country's reception to this blockbuster movie speaks for itself:
Bad Genius, the highest grossing Thai movie of 2017 with domestic earnings of more than 100 million baht (US$3mil/RM12.6mil), has now hit more than RM3mil in the Malaysian box-office since it opened on Aug 10 The Star
First of all, this movie became viral in my country, and even with limited showing, this movie outsell a lot of our local movie thus justifying its quality.
Personally, I can't believe 'Bad Genius' was built around students who are preparing to cheat for exams. The plot is linked to 'Ocean Eleven' which is a great planning for a hiest, and it does have the similarities to this movie. The plot is the perfect blend of social status distinction, inequalities, greediness and a plot twist leading you anxious of the outcome of this film.
Just as you were hoping for a love scenes, greediness consumes you. Well, you have to watch this film to understand what i'm saying. From left to right- Bank and Lynn.
There's no big names starring in this movie because they don't need one. It is the whole plot that steals any individual spotlight. However, I would like to highlight the character of 'Bank' which I think leave an emotional impressions towards me. His transitions from a good boy to a cold-hearted person showed the brutal reality of life which is why I think we can appreciate this character and this movie.
Final word
Like nothing you ever seen!
I believed that this is a great start of Thailand's movie to be appeared at the international scene. Even with the simplest ideas, a good storyline and great creativity will create a masterpiece and I think Thailand should be proud of 'Bad Genius'. If you like diversity, than you will like this one.
Jen,

Wonderful movie!
Lots of us (Thais), including me (though i barely watch any movies...), didn't expect it to be this famous, but it has gone to New York festival and stormed the China market. so skeptics proven wrong xD... I like how they make dull activities turn into a full meltdown suspense.
