Action set piece after action set piece, killing after killing—that's the engine here, until the violence stops registering and starts feeling too much like repetition.

While its deliberate pacing may not suit everyone, the film delivers thoughtful performances and an emotionally grounded story.

Had it been a solo action thriller like John Wick, The Debt Collector most likely could have succeeded as a better film considering its distinct atmosphere and Nadech Kugimiya’s fine action hero performance.

Netflix’s The Debt Collector doesn’t reinvent the wheel with its storytelling, but it does remind you that the Thai filmmakers don’t mess around when it comes to action.
