Wisit Sasanatieng's insane comedy goes a bit overboard but is quite entertaining regardless.

The Murderer loses the thread somewhere along the way, making all of its selling points feel like minor redemptions. Confusion, not comedy or chills, ultimately becomes the predominant feeling.

On paper, it seems like there would be plenty to like: a decent setup, a clever mystery, and a playful storytelling structure. Unfortunately, however, the delivery of these things in The Murderer doesn't quite match up to their descriptions.

The Murderer is a dark comedy in the same vein as Peter Berg’s Very Bad Things that’s clever while simultaneously being visually ominous and evocative.

Like every other movie that I have enjoyed, I would’ve loved to see this on the big screen with a theater full of people and listen to them react to every joke, every twist, and every twist to subvert the previous twist.

Come on people, don't be too harsh on this movie! It is a funny cool crazy movie. Not an arthouse masterpiece! It is perfect to distract and relax on an evening with popcorn and a beer or whatever you would like to drink. Anyone who has been on holiday or worked in Thailand is going to enjoy this movie a lot. If you never set foot there maybe you will find it less funny. There are couple of weaker moments - fillers. But I enjoyed and you should too :)

Loved this! Quirky characters. A dark comedy in the style of the Cohen bothers, but set in Thailand. A real surprise.

This is a very unusual movie-or is it? I am not certain about whether this is within the realm of movies coming out of Thailand but it is a very unusual and engaging movie. Part murder mystery, part quirky family comedy, and part social commentary this movie keeps you thinking throughout. The sets and cast and cinematography all tell of a low budget movie, but it is more story and character driven and that is what is makes this a good time. The characters and the dynamics are all very animated and they are fun to watch. I recommend this one a lot.
