Review :
Wildly Uneven and Ultimately Disappointing
In some ways a creative and highly unusual film based in a Manila slum. The Tagalog dialogue and quirky characters give the film promise. Unfortunately there are enough egregious scenes and acting to make you cringe.
Lots of gratuitous sex and violence punctuate a very thin plot. Without sexy Rosana Roces to highlight unrated DVDs, I bet this movie disappears after release. It might have been better that way. Too many scenes with people yelling and breaking things quickly become grating. The main character is particularly annoying. You almost root for the bad guys when they torture him.
