Genius doesn't have to be genius

"The Genius Gunner" (also known as "The Model Convict") is based on real events. It tells the story of a talented high school student, Xiaolin, who makes huge profits by helping her classmates get high marks in exams. She takes on a new task of sky-high price. In the middle of the answer, Xiaolin finds another gifted student with excellent memory, Bank, to plan a perfect cheating across time zones. "Genius Gunslinger" is highly praised not only because of its clever conception and fine details, but also because it makes the cheating scene look like an action movie, which makes people nervous throughout the whole process. What is even more rare in the film is that it also discusses why cheating is necessary and a series of realistic social topics involved in cheating, such as the gap between the rich and the poor, everything is judged only by exams, the tricks in school, etc. It also educates Thailand from the perspective of cheating. The system slapped hard.

    The tension in the two exam scenes was quite successful, almost to the point of wanting to vomit. However, the overall ideological depth is slightly lacking. Whether it is the education system or class differentiation, the film is only scratching the surface. In fact, the relationship between the rich second generation/scumbag and the poor student/scholar can have more narrative tension. However, the director did not discuss it too much. From my point of view, it is a pity, but for ordinary audiences is also sufficient.

    Youth is not just about abortion and love, cheating is the theme of the school days!
