A "I Wanna Hit the Road Again"-Movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2019)

Fine movie with some suspense and depth (regarding human nature). On top, everyone who traveled for quite some time in South-East-Asia will smile here and there because the movie really shows some aspects of travelling as a backpacker there (if you want or have to travel really cheap) and captures the mood well, especially if you dare to go deeper into the more rural and more backward regions and into the pits of the big cities like Bangkok.
Anyway good acting, fine cinematography and a sometimes thrilling story make The Beach an indeed sometimes pleasant trip and sometimes nightmare strikes back.
