Manuel Hidalgo is a Filipino actor who was a big name in his early years, with many leading roles in film and TV. However, he hit a dry patch, which forced him to go to Japan, where he earned a living while performing illegally at Filipino pubs. Manuel meets Shigeru, a mid-50s construction manager who recently declared bankruptcy due to unpaid debts and is looking for a way out. They catch a news report about a high-profile serial killer at large whom Manuel recognizes. Both men discuss this golden opportunity and finally grasp enough courage to give chase to get the reward money and solve their problems. Can a middle-aged man and an actor with no police or military training outmatch an unpredictable and psychotic killer?

Vega A It was marketed differently from what it actually delivered. It is a more introspective character study rather than what was perhaps advertised. It is a tale focused on two self-centered men whose simple problems spiral into complexity, ultimately leading to personal revelations. The slower pace requires patience, but the third act brings the narrative together in a satisfying way. It may not a film that I’ll revisit, however there is definitely an entertainment factor and emotional payoff. The strong cinematography and actors performances seem to be highlights as well. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Greg S PSA: Don't waste your time with this movie. The film is a shallow mess. It buries the promised serial killer plot under a mountain of unnecessary subplots about male ego and financial woes. The characters' motivations are thin, their eventual team-up feels forced, and the film ultimately delivers little more than a cliché message about taking help from your family. Any potential for deeper exploration of Filipino immigrant struggles in Japan is squandered, leaving a hollow and ultimately uninteresting experience. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Read all reviews
