Bad Genius (2024)


Remake of a 2017 Thailand film that was a highlight of that year for many of the people I know. The plot of the film has genius high school student helping her friends ace tests through questionable means. When the scam grows, things get out of hand and threatens her future.

If you want to see a well made film with a cast operating at the top of their game, this is it. It is a perfectly plotted thriller that hooks you early and pulls you in. It's a film you are going to watch and rewatch just so you can see all the moving parts.

Personally I had the same reaction that I had as the first film, which is this is great film but it's so perfect that I never connected to it. Why? Because despite being near perfect you can still feel the pieces being moved around. It's far from fatal, but it just means I love the construction but  just like the finished film.

Worth a look.
