Gloryrose D The first two episodes which came from the film was amazingly done. But the episodes after it was dragging and made me very disappointed because I really loved the film version of this. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/01/22 Full Review Audience Member Being a fan of both "The Departed" and "Infernal Affairs", this one really tried to follow the footsteps of the mentioned films. Actually it's hovering about an inch above "copycat" teritory. The story could've done better knowing the director, Matti and I know he's very crafty with his movies, but not this one. It may not exactly copied Scorsese's masterpiece but the skeletal framework of the characters is obviously there. Not meant to be a spoiler but, You know what I mean. It is more like - How to make a "The Departed" clone without telling the audience that this is a "The Departed" clone. Disappointed. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Realistic. Most of the selected actors selected in this film did good enough in portraying their respective role. Philippine movie industry need more movie like On The Job. Invest for the cast instead of spending for other movie materials. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member What a great movie especially because of the ending, which I hated, but have to respect because it was the proper way to end the movie vs selling out just to get a happy ending. The plot is a new twist on an established blueprint (there's a far reaching syndicate involving police chiefs, senators, prison guards, etc and there are 2 loyal cops trying to crack the case open. Of the 2 hitmen working for the syndicate, 1 you root for and 1 you hope gets caught. So theres a few characters that you're absolutely rooting for and more than a few that you hate. Whenever a film can evoke emotions like that, they've done an outstanding job imo. The acting is very very good and believable. The locations and settings definitely feel like a foreign country. And the direction was great too as the movie really flowed (even with its 2hr 18min run-time). Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best films in I have ever seen and that includes Hollywood films. This only goes to show the potential of the Philippine Cinema. A gritty tale of the human struggle accompanied by a well written script, an accurate portrayal of the underworld and a woven together by an amazing story telling. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This is what Filipino movies should be. It's worth the money, unlike those rubbish low-quality movies that only aim is to make a profit. This is a well made film, this is a classic.
