A bravura choreography of movement that begins with an intimate close-up of a face and ends, after 10 blood-rushing minutes, with an explosion of revolutionary rage -- a la Les Miserables and Do You Hear The People Sing? transported to a predominantly-Muslim Paris suburb -- that opening shot is so hypnotising and immersive in its non-stop kineticism that we're led to forgive that it's also an earnest show-off, a proud enshrinement of style and attitude over everything else.

The Thai police's competence in managing crime professionally has been questioned time and again. We often hear in the media about how cases dismissed by the police due to insufficient evidence are then reopened because a relative or friend of the victim finds there was foul play and requests for the case to be reviewed.
