While there are some great twists and revelations here, I just kept wishing it would stop with all the cinematic tricks and get to more conventional, straight- forward storytelling. Sep 27, 2012 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

A dreamy, elliptical neo-noir about a cop turned killer turned something else altogether. Sep 27, 2012 | Rating: 3/5

Headshot is, unfortunately, far better with ideas than with narrative. Sep 27, 2012 | Rating: C | Full Review…

Neither fresh nor especially satisfying, but Ratanaruang distinguishes the hunt with his fluid kineticism, especially in the just-a-touch-too-infrequent shoot-outs and beatdowns. Sep 25, 2012 | Full Review…

Its vision of contemporary Thailand is recognizable as another society undeserving of redemption, but worthy of poetry. Sep 25, 2012 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

If the titular headshot leaves Tul with inverted vision, the film too turns the characteristics of genre upside-down, defamiliarising everything - an effect that is helped considerably by Ratanaruang's way with moody stylisation. Mar 5, 2013 | Full Review…

The visual contrast between the ultraviolent showdowns and the quieter, more character-driven moments is striking. Sep 28, 2012 | Full Review…

This Thai crime thriller has some novel ideas and is strikingly shot, but a jumbled, overreaching narrative robs it of cohesion. Sep 27, 2012 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

This "Buddhist film noir," as writer-director Pen-ek Ratanaruang calls it, is surprisingly slow-moving and soulful for a film full of double-crosses and cold-blooded killing. Sep 23, 2012 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It's wholly unfair to judge a movie on what it could have been, but few films place their potential on a pedestal and fail to engage it like Headshot. Jun 5, 2012 | Full Review…

The result is a film of high style and assured cool, even if the storytelling gets a little gummy late in the game. Jun 5, 2012 | Full Review…
