    Great Concept. Great Message. Terrible execution.

    Movie doesnt know if it wants to be a comedy satire, or gripping revenge plot. Tone is all over the place, on one hand you have slapstick and comedy moments, and then youll go serious and go full blood and gore.

    Lines are unnatural, feels like made to have quotable quotes to spam on social media every election season.

    Disappointing.

    I remember my KAS 1 Professor telling us how we usually know about Gomburza. Yeah the the three priests, they died or something yadda yadda. The professor told us that imagine the execution scene, its like a public gathering of all natives from all walks of life, theres the poor, the wealthy, the tagalogs, the bisayas, the mestizos, the indios etc. Before everything was revolts, theyre localized, theyre only revolts for tagalogs, theyre revolts for ilocanos.

    Up there they see…

    I think it's great. The Russian Twink is the standout actor here, but everyone is great (except the Russian Mom)

    Very chaotic, reminds me of Uncut Gems.
    I do find it too comical at points and some scenes are verrryyyy uncomfortable to watch.
