Plot
On the same day his boss informs him that he has just joined the legion of the jobless, Phuchit’s cell phone rings and a voice asks, “Do you want to win 100 million baht?” Phuchit has been chosen by a reality game show ! All he has to do is complete 13 tasks that will be conveyed, one after another, via his phone. When the first act is to kill a fly, Phuchit agrees. When the next is to make children cry, he is shaken, but finds a way to do it. He can’t see the audience but, through the modern black magic of micro-cams and a wave of conspirators, they can see him, and his cell phone rings with disapproval whenever he falls out of line. The acts get increasingly nastier and socially destructive as the numbers climb, taking Phuchit all across town as he jumps through one moral hoop after another.

A fun, over the top action/comedy with some interesting racial and cultural subtext. While it does drag along at points, the off-the-wall action sequences and dark humor certainly make this film worth watching.
