Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com It's as if Aaron Sorkin wrote a caper flick set in high school, and it's as much clever fun as that sounds. Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Kristy Puchko Pajiba Ocean's Eleven meets The Breakfast Club in Bad Genius...This bitingly brilliant teen movie is deliciously clever and laugh-out-loud funny. Aug 4, 2017 Full Review Clarence Tsui The Hollywood Reporter The film flourishes through its simple narrative and taut editing. Jul 3, 2017 Full Review Luke Gorham In Review Online Bad Genius's thrilling sensibilities continue to heighten its relatively negligible stakes. Aug 13, 2020 Full Review CJ Sheu Review Film Review [A]n impeccably made heist film, with some of the best editing magic in cinema-never has taking an exam felt so high-stakes and nervewracking. Jul 1, 2020 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Bad Genius is a strong film with tension that builds just right and performances delivering throughout.

Hafidz N Bad Genius is, in my opinion, an excellent film because it has a high-concept idea and is a rare kind of movie that can truly keep the audience on edge. The background score successfully builds tension and makes viewers feel uneasy. The female lead also delivers a strong performance, portraying her character convincingly. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review Igor S Solid movie all around. It touches on a subject that happens alot in the world, and not just in the same context. Strong recommendation from me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Ron B Really enjoyed this film. There is a lot to keep you entertained and the actors in this film were outstanding. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Andhika N Amazing movie 🔥🔥🔥 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Karl K Omg so glad I watched this movie. No horror or thriller movie in recent memory had me biting my nails like Bad Genius. Incredible! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Prabudhjeet A A masterclass of execution. Director Nattawut Poopiriya showed the intense culture of Asia when it comes to exams and how insane it is about getting good grades in Asian countries. Yes, its all about getting best grades in here and it does feels like we are in a HIEST while cheating in exams. The acting was just too perfect Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
