Man Suang

A unique and compelling story that captivates the viewer till the very end.

There are a lot of subtle and deep nuances in the plot that keep the viewers engaged and constantly guessing. The characters are well-developed, and their journeys are filled with unexpected twists and turns.

All the actors did an incredible job at playing their respective roles, bringing the characters to life with their exceptional performances.

The film's cinematography and visual effects further enhance the storytelling, creating a visually stunning experience for the audience. Additionally, the film's soundtrack perfectly complements the narrative, adding an extra layer of emotion and intensity to the overall viewing experience.

This movie truly has all the elements of a cinematic masterpiece. I strongly suggest seeing this film.

Just give it a try and you won't regret it ever. One of the best movies I have watched. I want to highlight Mile and Apo's acting. Specially Apo's acting was exceptional. All the actors have done a great job in conveying their characters. Specially the cinematography, visuals and camera work was in a really good quality. And the story line is even though it was bit fast forward that was really a good plot I must say. Want to watch it again so bad. I tried to avoid spoilers but I must say I really loved the way the movie interpreted chat and Khem's relationship. They were the sweetest. So I'm giving my rate as 10/10.

Overall 🍿: 7 - 7.5/10 based on the international movies we watched growing up.

Light/Cinematography/Songs: 10/10

Thainess: There could be much much more. If there was Thai festival celebration scene, it would be great. We would really like way more dancing scenes, even training scenes. Thainess or what is uniquely Thai, I think this can be explored much more and interwoven smoothly in daily Mansuang activities if this was a drama.

Storytelling: We feel its similar to the 90s HK movies. It's not complicated to understand. Dialogues can be better appreciated when watching 2nd round.

Editing: Some scenes can be viewed at 0.5x to be appreciated better. For example, emotional scenes, dancing scenes. Apo has many great scenes, but it flashed past too fast, there's no pause or 0.5x button in the cinema. Tbh, I think 2.5hrs would make the story more complete.

Plot/Pace: 1st 10mins or so, the pace and building of atmosphere was very good. Really well done. Apo did very well in those scenes. If it was kept that way, it would definitely lead to a thrilling suspenseful movie throughout.

The pace kind of dropped in the middle, during the investigations. Not sure if due to PG13, we felt it could be better in terms of sinister/evil/dark overall vibes. Personally, I didn't like the occasional humor in some scenes, but that could be a style.

Characters: For fans who have read the intro of each char before the movie, they will be able to appreciate the characters MUCH better and their actions. If not, 2hrs is insufficient for everyone to grasp everything. Special mention, crafting of Bas's char was well done esp his background.

Acting: Apo's scenes were very well done, we could watch him all day. His eyes were expressive and all emotional scenes were even more natural than in KinnPorsche. You can say he has improved by leaps! But the editing broke the flow of emotions invoked in me.

Watching the second round, I had more time to feel Khem. Other characters, had very good expressions and were natural. Esp the dark grey characters in this movie, they delivered their dialogues and expressions very well.

Overall, a 7 to 7.5/10 review, we feel its fair on international standards. We hope Mansuang can be made into a drama with more Thainess interwoven in it.

Mileapo is so good, the story line, the plot is amazing, the cinematography is top notch! Kudos to all the cast of mansuang, BRAVO! A masterpiece. I hope Mile and Apo bagged many awards cuz they are really great actors! Cant believe mile phakphum is a rookie his acting is on another level. Mansuang deserves everything. I hope it will be shown worldwide too not just in thailand cuz there are so many international fans who are waiting for it to be shown. I am telling you guys Mansuang is worth the wait and worth the money. We literally came here to thailand just to watch it on cineman and support mileapo.

The exceptional portrayal of characters Khem and Chatra by the talented Apo Nattawin and Mile Phakphum breathes life into them, offering unparalleled depth and authenticity. The cinematography employed paints a mesmerizing visual canvas, while the meticulously curated soundtrack effortlessly infuses emotions into every scene. Undoubtedly, this cinematic masterpiece stands as a testament to the profound impact of exceptional acting, stunning visuals, and a captivating soundtrack, culminating in a truly remarkable and authentic viewing experience. This is a film you'll want to rewatch time & time.
