The Murderer plot

"Witness interrogations gone wild. What the heck has happened?"

On the night a tropical storm hits a village in Isan, Thailand, a massacre ensues at a remote estate. Several bodies are found scattered around the estate with different causes of death and no one knows who the killer is. As the lead investigator, the driven detective Nawat is under pressure to find the culprit. Eventually he turns his suspicions on the outsider Earl, a Briton with a dark secret.

Nice!

It's nice that Netflix keeps picking up projects like this. The Murderer is Wisit's version of Knives Out meets Postman Blues. Although it mainly resembles Citizen Dog in terms of color palette, for those familiar with the film this reminded me a bit of that village where Pod lived. This could have just happened there. Especially the colors stand out, nice and bright so that you almost have the idea that you are watching a Thai Wes Anderson movie.

Yes, it really is a wonderful (but sometimes also lame) comedy that gets a bit crazier. It says above that it is a crime film, but that could also be horror. Not really, of course, but the murders are quite explicit. Not that this is something for the gorehounds or anything, it's all just a bit too "fake" for that.

You have to be able to handle the crazy chains a bit, and you shouldn't be looking for logical thinking characters at all. Wisit just wanted to make a nice crazy movie. And he succeeded for 95%. I actually thought the last 15 minutes was a shame (you had the ideal ending for that). Now it's certainly not bad and he also shows some visual extras, but I prefer to see such trips skipped (moreover, he can also keep his life lessons to himself). Had it at 4.5*, but deducted half a star for the last 15 minutes.

4*

The reactions to this film were very divided, some thought it was very good and funny, while others thought it was just a lame bite. I'm in the latter category, I really couldn't smile the slightest bit about this and didn't like it...
