6ixtynin9 I'd seen the trailer for this one while in Australia a few years back; it aired on SBS one night, but I'd missed it and have been wanting to see it ever since. I had no idea what the film was about, it was the title that first caught my attention :) I'd figured it couldn't be what I was thinking of though, as it did air on public television. Alas, Netflix to the rescue to satiate my burning curiosity.First off, turns out the title isn't really "69," as the English translation would have you to believe. It's rather, "Funny Story Six Nine," or, "A Funny Story About Six and Nine." As I said earlier, since I wasn't expecting a Max Harcore flick, I was neither excited nor dissapointed to find this out. Up until about the last two minutes of the film, I was ready to say that this movie was the best one I've seen in a long time. After those two minutes, however, the mailman couldn't come fast enough to pick up the return envelope. After keeping it so thoroughly gangsta throughout the entire film, Tum gets soft. And they didn't even throw in an alternate ending to make the more savage, cold hearted of us happy. What the…?!?! Even with that though, I recommend you check this one out. There are a ton of plot twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. The acting is great (remember though, that's coming from a non-Thai speaking person), the production is top notch, and, again, the story line takes you on quite an adventure. Looking for a good movie off the beaten path, look no further.
