Deep

It is a very simple science fiction which is not so diificult to understand. But it keep your thrill. Predictable but no boring at all. I found the movie is interesting and director tries to build the story out of box.

I think the effort should deserve more ratings than which i see here.

I saw this on Netflix.

Ive not seen that many Thai films before, i can think of 2, Shutter and Ong Bak. I've been to Thailand once on holiday so I'm no expert on Thai culture.

The premise of the film is decent.

Its a drug trial based on sleep deprivation, 4 teens from the same College sign up with the lure of large sums of money, ( for a young Thai person ).

The opportunity to explore these ideas were however wasted. It soon became a teen drama full of stereotypes and movie tropes.

The film was well shot but the acting wasn't great with the exception of the female lead who had a decent presence. I watched in Thai original and English subtitles so I can imagine some of the translations were culturally altered.

The opening 30 mins were interesting but when I was expecting things to go deeper the middle section became a teen drama.

The ending is where it fell apart with multiple plot holes ' the twist ' and contrived story telling.

Its meandering entertainment at best, I think even many Teens would find a lot of this a bit too fluffy and childish.

Ive marked it slightly higher for its production values and good female lead but its probably more like a 5.

They would have got away with it if it wasn't for them pesky kids !!!

The movie is just Ok with a good plot but the plot is too short which makes the film inconsequential and turns to more of a teen drama.

At a relatively brief 101 minutes, 'Deep' feels too long because there's not a lot going on and the one-dimensional characters get old fast. And even with five(!!!) directors - Sita Likitvanichkul, Jetarin Ratanaserikiat, Apirak Samudkidpisan, Thanabodee Uawithya, and Adirek Wattaleela - involved, the film doesn't do enough with its high-concept premise to feel fresh or exciting.

Thai sci-fi thriller had exciting concepts about sleep deprivation. Obviously five directors still couldn't get things right and went downhill with several plot holes and poor choices. Four young cast also forced unnecessary teen problems without reasonable causes.
