Audience Member This movie is very good. Gina Pareno is very good. The writer of the story is most of all brilliant. It is really about two 'collectors' traversing one neighborhood, 1. Amy, the bet collector and 2. Grim Reaper, the soul collector. The two collectors weren't yet meeting at first but somehow already knew about each other, and were perhaps observing each other's movements. The ending in its subtlety is so good it made the two finally come across each other with great impact, that only viewers who are numb (or dumb) wouldn't get affected and realize the movie's message, that Death when it awakens us we become Life. I could imagine what happened to Amy afterwards, life to her wouldn't have been the same anymore. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Though it seems caged in darkness, Kubrador is a film about hope and despair. And Jeffrey Jeturian must be praised for letting the audience know that we are all similar to his anti-heroine (an outstanding Gina Pareno). We do bad things but we are still good. An amazing cinematography makes the film work but the performance of Ms. Gina Pareno in this drama is one of the best in years. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Good news for the Philippines. 2006 Cinemanila Best Picture [b]KUBRADOR [/b]won the Critic's Prize in the recently concluded Brisbane International Film Festival. This is the 10th best film recognition for the Jeffrey Jeturian masterpiece. [b]Kubrador [/b]is a film about a "jueteng" (an illegal number game) collector. As she goes around the tight streets of Manila, she meets the bettors who desperately put all their hopes into jueteng, wishing that it will bring them out of poverty. Every bettor has a story...and the collector, played by Gina Pareno, is a witness to all of these. After earning money through their hopelessness, she realizes in the end that she herself was hopeless.
