Pae is a murderer

Not in real life, for a movie role.

The most hated man in Laos, “Pae” Arak Amornsuppasiri, is a convict in his latest film  “Cheuan (meaning to slice)” from Five Star productions.

Pae said this role is very different from his previous movie roles–it’s darker.

“This role is a big change from my previous work. I’m a prisoner, imprison for murder. My case intertwines with my memory and my dreams, I have to investigate it continuously. I’m a prisoner who looks a little dirty. This is an action film, something I have never seen before other than in foreign films. It’s a very strange story. I had to cut my hair. My face looked too young, P’Khoma wanted me to look darker, consequently I had to grow a beard.”

You know what, Pae doesn’t communicate well. I had such a hard time understanding him.

A better synopsis of the film from Twitchfilm:

“After a string of murder cases, involving mostly male victims being severed from the police are still baffled by the case and have no clue linking a murder suspect. An ex hitman named Tai, turned informant, tries to fill in the details of this baffling case. But the police simply disregard his valuable input, until now. The situation changes when the next victim is revealed as the son of a government official. The order is put out to capture the murderer at all costs. The police have nowhere to turn to for clues and so must revert to Tai for leads. But information from the Tai comes with a price. First he requests his freedom. In return, he promises to apprehend the murderer within 15 days. To make sure he can deliver the murderer as promised, his wife is held against her will until he can deliver the murderer. With Tais expertise in tracking down people, the ex hitman uses what he knows to gain insight and clues to the case. Remembering that one of his childhood friends has a history of mental illness that shows in the form of resenting the male species in general, thus starts a chase for the murderer. Tai must now duel it out and hopefully catch the right man.”
