In Brief: Bad Genius (2017) NYAFF 2017
Nattawut Poonpiriya's BAD GENIUS is the opening night film of the New York Asian FIlm Festival and it's not bad.The plot of the film has girl who is very good at taking tests making a fortune by selling the answers to various tests. When the opportunity arises to make millions by scamming the STIC tests used for international students she jumps at the chance. But the plan, involving taking the test in a time zone ahead of Thailand and sending the answers back is complicated and thing begin to fall apart.
Enjoyable to be sure but the film suffers from being more flash than substance. There lots of showy set pieces which while stunning made me admire the technical virtuosity more than they increased my suspense level. For me it was a thriller that held my attention but doesn't thrill.
I have taken a lot of abuse for not loving this to death, several writers have promised not to speak to me as a result. I understand their love of the film but it wasn't something I was over the moon about. I freely admit that I know part of my lack of love is that as the opening night film it didn't his things out of the park- which is something several films have done over the past 9 years that I have been going to NYAFF. For me tt's not bad but I kind of hoped for more from the opening night film.
