This six-part Thai series is a highly styilised and super-hip crime caper reminiscent of Tarantino. Apparently a remake by the director of his original 1999 movie, '6ixtynin9: The Series' focuses on a young woman, Toom, made redundant from her insurance job during the pandemic. On arriving home to her apartment, she finds a box on her front doorstep. She's used to misdelivered items. Her apartment is number 6, but the number on the door keeps swivelling around to look like 9. That's three doors down the hallway and, unbeknown to our heroine, the home of a drug dealer and his gang. Curious, Toom brings the box inside and opens it. Of course, it's full of tends of thousands of dollars in cash. Jobless and desperate, she opts to keep the money. And it's from this point that the plot kicks off.
As with Tarantino, there is full of dark humour, with lots of gunplay, gruesome violence and racy sex scenes. As the bodies pile up in Toom's apartment (with various crime factions all trying to recover the cash), it gets more and more fanciful. And when two of the victims come back to life, thanks to a last minute reprieve from the old hip Thai angel at the gates of the after-life, the story completely dispenses with any pretence at realism. But it's all so tautly directed and moves at such a pace that the best approach is a viewer is just to enjoy it and hang on for the ride.
Highly recommended.
