The storyline is typical of Filipino movies: Infidelity. Murder and rape scenes are very predictable. You could almost say with high degree of certainty what happens next. And then there is Poor Acting from the main cast. Julia Montes' acting is terrible. Coco Martin's smug is almost similar to his Probinsyano role. It makes you wonder if he is just a one-dimensiinal guy. The dialogue is also corny. I mean why would you believe that you can fool and lure a 15 years old girl with mermaid stories. The potrayal of religiosity is a bit too traditional. There a lot of cinematic errors too and the porttayal of police work and the jusrice system is very unrrealistic. In short, the movie sacrifices realism for the sake poor story telling.
