Set in the seedy underbelly of Manila, this tense thriller stars Filipino powerhouse Arnold Reyes as Marlon Villar, the long-time chauffeur for a notoriously corrupt politician who becomes entangled in a high-stakes kidnapping plot. After criminals mistake Villar’s daughter for the daughter of his boss, gruesomely slaying the latter in making their getaway, Villar sets out to rescue his child while the competing interests of the congressman and the kidnappers promise to make matters worse. With paralyzing urgency, this gritty political thriller favors suspense and intrigue rather than bombastic action, with smart twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end. In Tagalog with English subtitles.
In Person: Director Ron Morales and producer Rebecca Lundgren.
