This film made tons of buzz from Thai media before its release, given the fact that it is a film of the director of "Shutter" (which became a blockbuster in Thailand a couple of years ago) and stars one of the most famous Thai actress, Masha Wattanapanich. As a result, it did surely not disappoint anyone.
The film provides some familiar moments of horror, that can't help but remind me much of "Shutter". It contains, of course, twisted plot at the end, though one might have not expected it since the first half of the film gave no clue that there would be a twist at the end. The twist is a lil bit shocking, but predictable. The set is familiar: the hospital, Thai semi-traditional two-story wooden house, and so on. The film gave audience enough shots of creepy graphic, series of haunting moments and a room to breathe for next scary scene.
The plot has some thing to do with myths about Siamese twins, which happen to have vital links to each other. Masha and her co-star did a good job, but they deserved better dialog.
I can't say that this one is better or worse than "Shutter", since the film didn't take its audience further than "Shutter" had done (except that it took you as far as South Korea at the first 10 min). There is no originality to talk about here. So, if you like "Shutter", "Alone" will give you kinda rekindle feelings with another casts and stories.

Just watched this body switch comedy this morning and it made my day. I didn't expect much before watching it. But I've got to tell you that this film is really entertaining.
I happened to watch all 3 of Strizhnov film. And came to conclusion that this director did a decent job in portraying how new-new Russian middle class in Moscow would look like. And in this film he still stick to what he knows best.
Its lead star should get most of the praise here. Yuri Kutsenko and Kristina Obrakaite did a real great job. Without them it is hard to imagine how this film would look like. Kutsenko makes me boring every time he tried to repeat how bad Russian mafia could be (just watched "derzkiye dni" yesterday and "posledniy weekend" a couple of weeks ago). But with this role, he reminded me of Mel Gibson turning to be a comedian in "What Women Want". And Obrakaite also made a great return to the big screen. Together they provide a lot of chemistry this kinda film would need, revealed their talent of being comedian. Impressed! The plot may not new, dialog in the film is not that sharp. But if you';re looking for a light comedy, let Lyubov-Morkov make some laughs out of you.

"Sagai United" takes you far to the place where no other Thai films have taken you to before, the southern mountain part of Thailand (though not the southernmost). The film should have been blamed for making fun of minorities, who can find it offensive, since lots of their habits portrayed in the film is inaccurate. Still, the plot itself corrects much of the blame.
The plot is that one gamble con, in an escape from Bangkok mafia gangster, throw himself from the train (which in the film depicted the western part of Thailand) and found himself in rural South (!), where he met with Sagai boys who have talent in playing football, and decided to train them to make some bucks. At the same time, the tribe was in need for medicine to cure its people from deadly disease. The football championship was mistaken to be the way to help them out of the disease. So, the boys decide to take the city, where they would clashed with city lights and humiliation. Their goal is to win the cup, but their trainer is now stick in between his moral and old habits...
The boys are funny and provide innocent looks, though the leading boy and some of them are not Sagai at all. Pongpat, a veteran Thai star, did his best by flowing with the (lame) story.
No politics here. If you skip all minority's right and humiliation, the film is OK, though may not worth watching in the big screen. Still, it's hard to imagine if non-Thai audience will find this film as hilarious as Thai audience would do.
