Bad Genius is a brilliant and continually gripping movie that builds up your emotion up to the end.
Considered as the Asia’s biggest international movie hit, ‘Bad Genius’ finally hitting the cinemas starting October 18, 2017. The movie, directed by Nattawut Poonpiriya, stars the phenomenal Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying in her acting debut as Lynn, a straight-A student who devises an exams-cheating scheme which eventually rises to international levels.
The movie also stars Chanon Santinatornkul (Non Kul) as Bank, Eisaya Hosuwan as Grace and Teeradon Supapunpinyo (James) as Pat.
A few days before it’s official air date, I was able to meet personally two of the stars of the movie. Non-Kul and James visited the country to meet all of their fans as well as to officially launch the movie. In the press conference held in Marco Polo, Non and James willingly share to us that cheating wasn’t really new to them. Non, who is currently studying film production at Mahidol University International College says he did a few cheating tricks a long time ago while here is what James has to say . . .
The movie ‘Bad Genius‘ was Hailed as #1 highest-grossing Asian film in Cambodia, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Hong Kong. It has received critical and commercial success during their screenings at different film festivals around the globe. I do not want to spoil and give you more info on how the story of the movie goes, but ‘Bad Genius’ would definitely bring you back to your student life and will give you that afflicting emotion that would make you want to hold on to your seat. It was brilliantly written, directed and the actors were spot-on.
