I saw this movie in LA and was impressed. Forget the X-Men and treat yourself to real filmmaking.

Excellent story-telling and editing. The movie also gives you a real feel for the not-so-pretty side of the Philippines is like.

I saw this movie last year at Austin's SXSW 2005. I totally enjoyed every aspect of it and wished it was being released wide instead of just for one week in LA and NY. I totally bought into the plot of a young man struggling to live in I saw this movie last year at Austin's SXSW 2005. I totally enjoyed every aspect of it and wished it was being released wide instead of just for one week in LA and NY. I totally bought into the plot of a young man struggling to live in the US only to be called back to his homeland of the Phillipines to find his family that has been abducted my terrorists. However, with a plot synopsis like that, one should know that this is not an action film but rather a realistic thriller featuring a protagonists who is being led step by step by the unseen antagonists.

It is a remarkable blend of a thriller storyline with revelations of a greater and very disturbing reality. An eye-opener indeed!… Expand

Shaky-Cam travelogue through filthiest parts of the country. Lots of shoe leather. Fell asleep, left after 40 minutes. Acting nowhere to be found.

A true indie worth checking out. Don't expect a production value like today's other "indie" films but do expect a twisting, 24-like adventure with real passion behind the filmmaking. Great score also. I saw it at SXSW a year or two A true indie worth checking out. Don't expect a production value like today's other "indie" films but do expect a twisting, 24-like adventure with real passion behind the filmmaking. Great score also. I saw it at SXSW a year or two ago and really enjoyed it. I really want to see their first film but can't find it.… Expand

for what it cost to make, the pleasure/budget ratio is better than most summer movies so far.
