Headshot is, unfortunately, far better with ideas than with narrative.

What are critics saying?
Slant Magazine by Elise Nakhnikian
This "Buddhist film noir," as writer-director Pen-ek Ratanaruang calls it, is surprisingly slow-moving and soulful for a film full of double-crosses and cold-blooded killing.
The most "Naked City"–worthy aspect is the film's temperature, fixed precisely between cool posturing and broiling anomie. Its vision of contemporary Thailand is recognizable as another society undeserving of redemption, but worthy of poetry.
The New York Times by Manohla Dargis
A dreamy, elliptical neo-noir about a cop turned killer turned something else altogether.
