Audience Member The best thing that I can say about this movie is that it made me appreciate the original classic movies that these films are based from (Manila By Night/Jaguar). Both of the films are quite dull and Piolo is miscast for both of his parts. The b&w photography doesn't fit any of the the movies at all (imagine: the fiery hell on earth Smokey Mountain sequence in Jaguar devoid of color). In the first movie, they colored Piolo's hair and it looked weird (and is distracting) in b&w. The extended credits in between the movies is slightly amusing but bordering on indulgence. Overall the movies are OK but uninspired. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member have 2 stories on this movie, i st talking about a guy whom seem so confusing on his relationship, & his mum dislike he live like this !! the 2nd story talking about a man whom treat his boss very good, but actually, he didn't get a y care by anyone!!
