Synopsis: Gangsters. Job loss. Thai Boxing. A noodle box full of money. These are the essential ingredients peppered throughout 6IXTYNIN9, which combine to leave a delicious and satisfying taste in the mouth... Gangsters. Job loss. Thai Boxing. A noodle box full of money. These are the essential ingredients peppered throughout 6IXTYNIN9, which combine to leave a delicious and satisfying taste in the mouth once consumed. Tum (Lalita Panyopas) discovers the box of loot on her doorstep one morning while trying to recover from being fired from her job. Attempting to do the right thing for herself, she conceals the cash and hopes she'll be able to spend it without the real owners ever finding out that she has it. Big mistake. For Tum finds herself caught up in the whirlwind lifestyle of some Thai Boxing gangsters, who are keen to rekindle their missing money. A wonderfully incisive comedy from director Pen-Ek Ratanaruang, 6IXTYNIN9 is the perfect illustration of a Thai film industry that finds itself flourishing at the start of the 21st century. [More]

8/10

Jeffrey Chen

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

Jean-François Vandeuren

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.

Film Threat

3/5

Maitland McDonagh

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.

3/5

Jeannette Catsoulis

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

David Sterritt

Comically grotesque, strikingly filmed.

Dennis Lim

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.

A crafty, shifty crime film... pleasantly alive.

Robin Clifford

“6ixtynin9” is darkly funny, tongue in cheek humor that shows the ingrained talent of its director and his deft hand at the helm.

6ixtynin9 is slight, but entertaining; patchy, but not a total mess.

Not Coming to a Theater Near You

B-

Sean Axmaker

Ingeniously engineered, self-consciously clever and directed with snazzy style, it's played as a violent black comedy with often-gruesome punch lines.

Eric Henderson

Its deadly punchlines suggest the archetypal “cosmic joke” with more emphasis on the tragic side of the tragedy-comedy continuum.

It's Ratanaruang's stylish direction that recommends the movie.

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.
