Sueño mortal

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.

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 !!!

I stopped watching after 1 hour, the idea was amazing, kind of new thing but suddenly it changes from sci fi thriller movie to a childish teen drama and it is not the kind of drama that u would like.

I thought it will be kind of thrill that will make me anxious and feeling tense for the whole time but it was not. Its a movie for teenagers dancing drinking....etc. Nothing cool about it at all.

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.

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.
