2007 Drama

A hitman falls for his handsome target, only to find that his passion may prove his downfall in director Poj Arnon's scintillating underworld drama. Maek (Rattanaballang Tohssawat) is a cold-blooded assassin for hire, and his latest assignment is to take out a police informant named Iht (Chaiwat Thongsaeng). Just as Maek gets his mark in his sights, however, he has a last-second change of heart and decides not to pull the trigger. In the ensuing gunfight, Maek takes a bullet and is dragged to safety by a grateful Iht. As Iht nurses Maek back to health, the wounded hitman and his married caretaker find their feelings for one another developing into something far deeper than friendship. When word gets out about Maek and Iht's forbidden romance, everyone from Thailand's biggest crime boss to Iht's enraged wife comes gunning for them. Later, Maek returns to his boss in hopes of rectifying the situation. But Maek's boss isn't the most forgiving of criminal kingpins, and when Iht turns up unexpectedly, the bullets really start to fly. more..
