Stylish, funny, and fun to watch (and quite morbid at times), and even offers relevant insight into the conditions created by the Thai economy.

6ixtynin9 prend les traits d'une %u0153uvre peinte avec le plus grand soin, mais dont les nombreuses couches de peinture n'arrivent pas à cacher complètement tous les numéros.

Though Quentin Tarantino's influence is clear, writer-director Pen-Ek Ratanaruang imbues this material with an engaging energy and a bittersweet undercurrent of alienated sorrow that makes it seem fresh.

Thai director Pen-ek Ratanaruang's splatter comedy 6ixtynin9 rejoices in a plot as tricky as its spelling.

Enlivens some dingy genre predicaments (dirty money, corpse disposal) with gusts of dreamlike whimsy and a sardonic take on local economic woes.

It is a lot of fun and allows us to track the growth of a special artist.

“6ixtynin9” is darkly funny, tongue in cheek humor that shows the ingrained talent of its director and his deft hand at the helm.
01/31/05
Ingeniously engineered, self-consciously clever and directed with snazzy style, it's played as a violent black comedy with often-gruesome punch lines.
01/10/05
Its deadly punchlines suggest the archetypal “cosmic joke” with more emphasis on the tragic side of the tragedy-comedy continuum.
01/08/05
Those expecting a raunchy sex comedy from the provocatively titled 6ixtynin9 are in for a severe letdown

This is a competently made film, with some wonderfully subdued camera work and very effective editing.
