Bad Genius (2017) - 130 min

Bad Genius is a Thai thriller film directed by Nattawut Poonpiriya.
Starring Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying, Chanon Santinatornkul, Teeradon Supapunpinyo & Eisaya Hosuwan .
Lynn is a brilliant math student and after seeing her academics, the principal of a well known school offers her a scholarship. Grace is the only friend she had in that school and when Grace asks for some help in the exam. Lynn agress to cheat in exams and after that she decides to make huge money from it by helping the weak students.
The highest grossing Thai film of 2017 and it is based on a true incident. The story was told like a heist movie and exam halls were presented as the building block for creating tension. It may not deliver a good message to the viewers, but I was enthralled by the concept and the corrupted school system was nicely shown by the director. On a serious note, it reminds me of my entire school-college life, Cheating was my favorite thing to do at that time and To be frank I always outrun my opponents. Overall, it's a fresh approach towards the crime-thriller genre and an incredibly fun movie to watch.
Verdict: Great
