Secretary Tum (Lalita Panyopas) flirts with suicide after losing her job at a Bangkok bank. One morning, she awakes to find a box of instant noodles sitting outside her apartment door, which turns out to contain an enormous amount of cash. When the two hapless gangsters who had misdelivered the box come back to reclaim it, Tum finds herself with a pair of dead criminals in her apartment and a lot of explaining to do -- especially to her nosy neighbor, Pen.

New York Times

Thai director Pen-ek Ratanaruang's splatter comedy 6ixtynin9 rejoices in a plot as tricky as its spelling.

Rated: 3/5

Dennis Lim

Village Voice

Enlivens some dingy genre predicaments (dirty money, corpse disposal) with gusts of dreamlike whimsy and a sardonic take on local economic woes.

It is a lot of fun and allows us to track the growth of a special artist.

Window to the Movies

Stylish, funny, and fun to watch (and quite morbid at times), and even offers relevant insight into the conditions created by the Thai economy.

Rated: 8/10

6ixtynin9 prend les traits d'une %u0153uvre peinte avec le plus grand soin, mais dont les nombreuses couches de peinture n'arrivent pas cacher compltement tous les numros.

Rated: 7/10

"A Funny Story About 6 and 9" alternative title "Draining Day" starts off with a woman getting fired from her job. After dreaming about suicide, she finds a lot of money and a very eventful day begins. Visionary director of "Last Life in the Universe" and "Headshot" helms a humorous tragedy that starts because a missing screw turns apartment 6 into apartment 9. Confusing ending.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This is a great movie and one hell uv a twist. Order it and see the hidden cost of taking something that does not belong to you. Thai film with subtitles.
