Bad Genius

Bad Genius (ฉลาดเกมส์โกง, 2017) is a Thai crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Nattawut Poonpiriya. At 130 minutes, it's one of the sharpest films about academic fraud ever put to screen — tight plotting, genuine tension, and a protagonist who's too clever for her own good.

Lynn is a scholarship student dropped into an elite Bangkok school full of classmates who'd rather pay than study. Helping her best friend cheat once seems harmless enough. The queue of paying clients grows, the sums get serious, and Lynn engineers a cross-timezone answer-smuggling operation built on color-coded signals and nerve. Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying leads the cast with a performance that's equal parts calculating and vulnerable.

The film topped the Thai box office in 2017 and was Thailand's official submission for the Academy Awards' international feature category. Stream Bad Genius (2017) online on iFILM.
