Slice (2009)

AKA: Chuen

Starring: Arak Amornsupasiri, Chatchai Plengpanich, Jessica Pasaphan
Director: Kongkiat Khomsiri

Premise:
A serial killer is hunting rich men and cutting off their penises. The detective in charge gets assistance from an imprisoned hitman to find the killer. The hitman goes to childhood home and soon thinks the killer is a former childhood friend.

My Take:
A stylish flick with lots of grittiness. There are many very uncomfortable and brutal situations. Plus a great twist towards the end which ties the story together. The subject matter will be difficult for some as the Thai sex industry is a major catalyst in the tale.

Rating: So Good
