A decent netflix thai action flick that could've accomplished more
As a fan of Baifern - when a new netflix action movie starring her comes out, it's a must-watch for me!Having said that though, I think while the movie holds pretty well on its own, I don't think I can give it anymore than a 7.5/10. The cast is generally likable and interesting enough, and the action scenes (especially the beginning) are great. It kinda falls off towards the middle and the end though where it's just just gunfights with endless generic goons which tends to respawn automatically just to continue the movie. I think the inconsistency in the number of generic goons really took me away from the story quite a fair bit, because you see maybe 12 of them come in, but the fights seem to show like 50 of them.
Another thing is the hitmen "villians". They're pretty two dimensional and honestly doesn't add much to the movie, Toni's the most interesting of the lot but it doesn't seem like he's exceptionally skilled or anything, just that he is ruthless and has a lot of money to throw around to hire more assassins and goons.
Still, it is what it is, if you're a fan of action movies, thai movies or Baifern, it's still quite a solid watch and an entertaining evening.

FORCED SAD ENDING ! Do better netflix please
Excellent premise, casting, acting, action scenes. But characters didn't have brain which was the most necessary. Main faults of this cinema were -1. When Lhan finally put knife in hunter's stomach, she should've slit his throat to make sure he's dead. She should've carried those 2 knifes also.
2. Pran threw that trans lady from up, when he could've easily killed her. Most big mistake.
3. Biggest mistake of Pran was to give her blood right then. When he saw that bullet wasn't in her body anymore, he should've stitched her wound first. He didn't. A pure brainless creature. He could've easily lived.
4. They never showed us why this family became killers. Also no background of M which we needed.

What a action-packed rollercoaster!
It gave me chills! The way they were after her :/ Ending could be little bit better with more romantic scenes!! Not everyone has to die!! But overall it was a worth watching movie for me!! Pim, Thana and Sivakorn were the stars for me, their characters fully suit them! Whereas, Toni was a perfect villain, he scared the hell outta me throughout the movie and that guy who played transgender was way too scary too man!9/10

Not Your Average Lakorn Action
I found myself thoroughly enjoying this action-packed Thai romance. I've always liked Baifern as an actress and have watched many of Tor's dramas, but surprisingly, it was Porsche who completely stole my heart in this movie.At first glance, what starts out as a standard youth romance centered on a love triangle quickly becomes something much more enjoyable. Instead of focusing on romantic rivalry, the film places equal emphasis on the friendship and camaraderie between the three leads, making their bond just as compelling as the romance itself. Best of all, it avoids the usual second-lead heartbreak that often leaves viewers emotionally scarred.
The romance is adorable and gives you all the warm fuzzy feelings without taking away from the action. And speaking of action, I was genuinely impressed. As someone who's watched enough lakorns to expect chaotic gunfights and questionable logic, I wasn't expecting much. Instead, the film delivered energetic and well-choreographed fight scenes that enhanced the viewing experience. And Patcha as Chaba? Iconic. The queen was fighting in high heels and still managed to deliver aggressive, tightly choreographed action scenes. Respect.

The story revolves around Elias, an elite assassin who operates under a strict code of conduct, and Sarah, an independent investigator who has just uncovered a corruption network involving Elias's clients. The "cat and mouse" cliché is elevated here by a crucial detail: they share a past that neither has been able to fully overcome. When Elias is tasked with eliminating the "obstacle" (which he discovers to be Sarah), the film abandons its pure action structure to delve into a psychological game of loyalty and betrayal.
Cutting-Edge Cinematography: The film utilizes camera technologies that make the fight sequences almost immersive. The art direction opts for cool, neon tones, creating a "cyber-noir" aesthetic that perfectly matches the characters' desolate atmosphere.
Chance Between the Protagonists: The film's greatest asset is its casting. The tension between the couple is built in silence, through glances and hesitations during the fights, making the romance more believable than the sometimes expository dialogue.
Action Choreography: Forget quick and confusing cuts. The fights here are fluid, brutal, and choreographed like a tragic dance, where each blow seems to carry an emotional weight.
My Dearest Assassin is an evolution of the genre. It understands that, in 2026, audiences want more than just explosions; they want to feel the anguish of characters forced to choose between duty and desire. It's a film about the scars that love leaves when forged in violence.

My Dearest Entertainment…
Le point fort de ce film, c'est son casting. Aucun doute qu'il ne déçoit pas, bien qu'on sache peu de choses sur Lhan finalement. L'ensemble des acteurs amène de la chaleur dans ce monde violent et cupide.Cependant, le film perd de son intérêt une fois la moitié atteinte (le film est d’ailleurs un chouïa trop long (une bonne trentaine de trop, pour moi)). Entre les antagonistes qui reviennent sans cesse et des combats qui n'ont que pour intérêt de botter des culs, il ne reste pas grand-chose. Toutefois, l'action ne faiblit pas avec des scènes bien chorégraphiées. La vendetta est honnête, mais elle manque de réels enjeux émotionnels.
En bref, My Dearest Assassin est un film d'action entraînant avec des combats percutants, ainsi qu'une mise en scène efficace.

História mal desenvolvida
Não sou de assistir programas tailandeses, porém esse filme estava em 4 lugar geral da Netflix ai fiquei curiosa pois gosto bastante de filmes de ação … pois bem!O filme entrega boas cenas de ação e ritmo acelerado com uma pegada de suspense e drama. A história ate q é boa mas pra mim do meio pro final deixou muito a desejar.
O desfecho é que sò a prota sobrevive. O sacrifício do protagonista e do irmão, que literalmente entregam tudo por ela, deveria ter tido um impacto emocional mais satisfatório — mas acaba ficando com gosto amargo, como se toda a jornada tivesse sido cruel demais sem necessidade.
Filme com uma história até interessante sò que mal aproveitado.

This the best movie ever
This film is incredible, there's a lot of emotion, especially sadness, loss, and struggle. What moved me is that it's truly a sacrifice, it breaks my heart... But I recommend this film...it's not very romantic, but you really understand the life of a criminal...you understand why you don't give up, that's all I can say.Was this review helpful to you?
