Headshot (2011) is a Thai noir crime film from writer-director Pen-Ek Ratanaruang (Last Life in the Universe and 6ixty9ine).This "Buddhist noir" crime film is well made with some interesting shots and set pieces, but it isn't fully satisfying overall. It is a story of corruption, revenge, and redemption that isn't cohesive in its story as it could have been. There is some stylish panache to the film, but it isn't as satisfying as his earlier Thai noir film 6ixty9ine. That being said I think Pen-Ek Ratanaruang is a talented film maker and I look forward to his next production. This one was entertaining, but not as good as he is capable of producing.
