Being Asian, I'm not really a fan of Asian movies, but seeing this one is something different. I was moved by the main character's (Top) perseverance and determination to become a businessman. I also admire the character work (kudos to the writers) for Top's uncle, for being his biggest supporter and 'main man' in pursuing his dreams.
Few things though, to teens (or kids) who have seen this movie, the idea of reaching for your dreams is important but, please try to finish your studies. In today's world, it is essential that even though we don't have the brains, we still have the diploma and the right to say we graduated. And also to parents, be not like Top's parents who just move to China when things got worse.
The whole movie was moving, and I am inspired by it. Clap to those who did good things like these, and to dreamers who never let go of that dream. Thanks!

A good movie but still finish your studies
Worth watching
AMAZING!! This is the first Thai movie that i have ever watched in my life which was worth watching.This movie has so many messages, my jaw dropped when I got to know that it is based on a true story! just amazing! Ittiphat Tob is a big inspiration, he got deceived several times, fell down so many times, still he didn't give up instead stood up and worked hard to reach his goal which actually seemed impossible for a teenager! he jeopardized his future by not attending university classes,he didn't have a university degree but still how amazingly he achieved success and got rid of debt ,and now he is more like a billionaire!
There were so many parts in the movie that moved me. Everything looked perfect,the plot was amazing as well as the acting.Pachara Chirathivat is a great actor, played his role very well.
What a boring snoozefest of a movie...
Well, sure the fact that this movie is based on real events is actually interesting enough. And thumbs up to the guy who persevered here and rose to become a billionaire. But was it a story that was becoming of the screen? No, not really.
The storyline just fell completely short of providing me with any sense of entertainment or enjoyment. So writer Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit didn't really deliver anything grand here. And it was such an insanely slow paced movie that it was hard to stay awake and focused on the things on the screen.
Director Songyos Sugmakanan didn't really deliver a riveting movie with "Top Secret: Wai Roon Pun Lan" (aka "The Billionaire"). But hey, I am sure that there are some out there in the audience with an interest for business and financial investments that might get a kick out of watching this movie. However, I was expecting a proper movie to be entertained by, and instead I was served a plate of financial investment mogul. Sorry, but no deal here.
I've seen actor Pachara Chirathivat in other movies, in which he was much more enjoyable to watch on the screen.
"Top Secret: Wai Roon Pun Lan" just wasn't aimed at me as a target audience, so I can't say that I was entertained or impressed with this 2011 movie.
My rating of "Top Secret: Wai Roon Pun Lan" lands on a two out of ten stars.
