Highlights:
- Editing. The film's ability to jog between comedic and dramatic rhythm is allowed by masterful editing
- Robert Arevalo is in his fighting form
- LSS-inducing Sige Lang ng Sige, and how relevant it is to the film
- The director and the actor watching the film with us
Lowlights:
- Attempts to humor that mostly fell flat. There were times when we felt insulted after a series of mistimed jokes
- While some twists are unpredictable, they seem illogical
- Questionable development of salient characters like the daughter and the son of the "Hari ng Tondo"
- Was the film trying to generate a few cheap laughs from personal disabilities? Did not work for me, though a part of the audience were laughing
- Can criticize the actors for seemingly lack of vibe, but as most of the characters seem one-dimensional, it all points to the screenplay. There was very limited attempt to develop the characters of the antagonists, so many of their actions seem arbitrary. (What happened to the son and daughter who seem like they are only after the money of their father and not care for him at all). The problem with arbitrary, is that everything that follow now seem illogical
- It was just disappointing, because the plot had a lot of potential
Rating: 4/10
