Plot

Somchai (Pierre Png), a debt-ridden gambling addict, goes to the top of a building to commit suicide and finds a young woman, Go-go (Arisara Wongchalee), standing on the ledge ready to do the same.

Rather than going through with the plans for death, the two talk and decide that there's nothing they can't do, since they had decided to die.

So they embark on a crime spree, starting out by eating in a restaurant and not paying the bill, then stealing a car and crashing it for fun.

They rob a convenience store, and are pursued by the police, and the gangsters Somchai pursue the couple as well.

Awards

The film won two awards at the Thailand National Film Association Awards: Best Actress for Arisara Wongchalee, and Best Costumes.

Release

Nothing to Lose has been issued on DVD in Thailand, but despite what the package says, it has no English subtitles.

gollark: Probably. I think it's required by some law or other, or at least they decided to interpret it that way.
gollark: It is apparently blocked as over-18 content, which makes a slight bit of sense because it could let you access some indirectly, but seriously why.
gollark: The wikipedia page for `The Underground History of American Education` seems to have archive.org links to some stuff, but naturally my mobile network blocks archive.org because that makes sense and is an entirely reasonable thing to do.
gollark: I've heard it said that it works more to teach conformity, or make people happier with low level abuse.
gollark: "What, you can just *look up* that information in ten seconds? Nope! Not allowed! Let us never speak of such things."
