I really liked the film. The film was not just comedic but also it was very descriptive, the fact it showed the brutality of the police who should serve and protect their countrymen, and how they do their job and sarcastically a “job well done” and wow they do admit it. In the ending, the camera even focused on the mission and vision of the police and the sticker on the door where President Noynoy Aquino had a caption of “Kayo ang boss ko!” or something like that, it showed that the president may not be aware of these happenings and how corrupt the police are or are they really? But there were two things that came to mind while making this review, either the intention of the director was to educate us, or to clear our minds that not all police are like that since we do not actually see the real deal with the police and those that happened in the film may just be word of mouth and are not true. Surely it had the power to capture the audience’s attention and applaud. It was really an eye opener. The film showed the respect for the Philippine national anthem and the Philippine flag, as the casts stood tall with palms on their chests, and finished the anthem, it reflects them being a true Filipino. The film also showed a social problem in society which is poverty, how the lower society would go through just to get money, even for a good cause, they would still do bad means, and how the higher society should be more careful when going along places that are highly notorious. The film reflected the good heart of a Filipino, when the main character has her cellphone snatched and agreed to cancel the trial as to have her phone back, but contrast to that, it also reflected the laziness of a Filipino, how one wouldn’t undergo such many hearings which is such a hassle, and rather have it the easy way and just forget about it. The camerawork was a bit off as it was overly shaking in one or two of the scenes. The location is good, specifically the stealing scene in Quiapo, as we all know that underpass is notorious because of acts such as what happened in the film. Overall, this film was a good one. It was a good Cinemalaya experience.
