This is one of the best thriller films since Marian Rivera's "Balota". The only difference was the promotional effort and the level of fan support for the lead stars. Despite having been in the industry since her teenage years, Alessandra De Rossi has never built a solid fan base, partly due to her sometimes controversial, shady and abrasive attitude. She also lacks major endorsements. While people appreciate her wit and talent, only a few fans remain loyal to her. In contrast, Marian Rivera is just as equally as bold as De Rossi, but Rivera carefully chooses her words and battles, which has helped her maintain a strong following despite her fierce persona.
All in all, if this film had been given a proper promotional push, regardless of De Rossi's polarizing image, I believe it could have reached the same level of success as Balota.
De Rossi delivers an outstanding performance, as does Art Acuña, who is truly terrifying in this film. The cinematography and sound design are impressive, adding to the overall intensity. Moreover, the film's themes feel especially relevant given the ongoing discussions on extrajudicial killings and Duterte's trial at the ICC. A must-watch and an exceptional thriller.
