An orphan is recruited by a death squad and quickly falls under the wing of the group's leader.

Clarence Tsui

Hollywood Reporter

A slick, poised, noir-infused thriller which goes well beyond the gritty realism and loud melodrama so common in socially-conscious Filipino cinema.

"Neomanila" is a great film that combines entertainment with social comment, although its impact is somewhat reduced by the faulty finale.

There are times when the film becomes overindulgent, but still, Red always goes back to his commitment to the humanity that has been made obscure by all the vulgarity and violence that has become woefully prevalent.

Eye for Film

Fast, brutal and powered by an ever-present sense of menace that makes the slower scenes the most nerve-racking of all, Neomanila... is one of those films whose roughness works in its favour.

Rated: 3.5/5

It's Just Movies

A powerful screenplay although sapped by low energy acting makes a good inner-city noir.

Rated: 7/10

HighDef Digest

Scathing, sublime, 'Neomanila' is a terrific work of international cinema, bristling with excellence and impact.

Rated: A

It's just more relevant and It's really hard to spot lowlights in this movie. Everything was smoothly and meticulously planned, and this could be considered as the second-best film of Red's (next to Birdshot).

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
