Another failed attempt by a Filipino who thinks he could really direct a motion picture. Filmmaking is not merely about camera angles, anamorphic lenses and popular actors, it should be more on how you tell stories that are both dramatically striking and future proof. The whole film is too clean for a historical narrative when it should be edgy and bold visually. Acting is also underwhelming (except Enchong) and predictable--no intensity! I really wish we had more filmmakers who can compete with or be on par with international directors. Sadly, the local film students I meet and production companies I know still have no unique and new ideas that I haven't seen in the past twenty or even thirty years. The score and Spanish are also horrendous!
