Synopsis

Welcome to an exam-cheating business run by ‘Lynn’ (Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying), a straight-A student who gets the idea for her business after helping ‘Grace’ (Eisaya Hosuwan) and ‘Pat’, (Teeradon Supapunpinyo). Grace is a prominent school activist who can’t get the grades she needs and Pat is a filthy-rich boy who believes money can buy anything. Lynn’s business skyrockets as scores of students offer her cash in exchange for exam answers. One day, Pat and Grace offered Lynn an opportunity to make millions of Baht. They want Lynn to pre-take the STIC test, an international standardised test for students wanting to enrol in the world’s leading universities. The test is scheduled to take place on the same date and same time at locations all over the world. Their plan is for Lynn to fly to a country in a time zone that’s ahead of Thailand and then send the answers back to her customers. For that to happen, they need the help of another genius scholar and the only one suitable is ‘Bank’ (Chanon Santinatornkul), Lynn’s scholarship-student rival who detests cheating of any kind. What will Lynn do to convince Bank to overcome his moral dilemma and help them? How BAD will this GENIUS become?

Thought-provoking and interesting plot
Overall: 5
The plot is really interesting and I guess comparable to Singapore's context, especially since exams are so important here and it brings across how desperate ppl can get for grades. And there's real issues like whether studying or money really gets you to where you want, and is trying hard really enough to achieve your goals? Very cool and very real questions! Never really watched a Thai movie before but this really opened my eyes. Excited for more movies by the team behind Bad Genius!

An original
Overall: 5
The concept of Bad Genius is a refreshing original! It plays towards the audiences in the South East Asian region and hits closer to home on the darker side of education, expectations and the struggle to achieve. Bad Genius keeps you on the edge of your seat without being a thriller, a horror, an action film, nor a sci-fi!
