Deep

I stopped watching after 1 hour, the idea was amazing, kind of new thing but suddenly it changes from sci fi thriller movie to a childish teen drama and it is not the kind of drama that u would like.

I thought it will be kind of thrill that will make me anxious and feeling tense for the whole time but it was not. Its a movie for teenagers dancing drinking....etc. Nothing cool about it at all.

The movie is just Ok with a good plot but the plot is too short which makes the film inconsequential and turns to more of a teen drama.

The execution was not that good, I loved the idea of the story and we could feel what the actors feel when they were not allowed to sleep. But too many plot holes here, the ending is nearly cringe!

I saw this on Netflix.

Ive not seen that many Thai films before, i can think of 2, Shutter and Ong Bak. I've been to Thailand once on holiday so I'm no expert on Thai culture.

The premise of the film is decent.

Its a drug trial based on sleep deprivation, 4 teens from the same College sign up with the lure of large sums of money, ( for a young Thai person ).

The opportunity to explore these ideas were however wasted. It soon became a teen drama full of stereotypes and movie tropes.

The film was well shot but the acting wasn't great with the exception of the female lead who had a decent presence. I watched in Thai original and English subtitles so I can imagine some of the translations were culturally altered.

The opening 30 mins were interesting but when I was expecting things to go deeper the middle section became a teen drama.

The ending is where it fell apart with multiple plot holes ' the twist ' and contrived story telling.

Its meandering entertainment at best, I think even many Teens would find a lot of this a bit too fluffy and childish.

Ive marked it slightly higher for its production values and good female lead but its probably more like a 5.

They would have got away with it if it wasn't for them pesky kids !!!

Honestly, I love Thai Movie, cause they always have many interesting original ideas, including Deep. The movie was good in the first few minutes but the rest is terrible. The characters development is so weak and that makes Deep going down with the speechless ending.

Anyhow, I won't waste your time if you want to find something to entertain on a boring night.
