This is a sequel of sorts to Erik Matti's On The Job, a film about convicts working as hitmen for corrupt government officials. Though not an original idea as other action movies have exploited the concept before (Joey Del Rosario's Pretty Boy Hoodlum is an early example), Matti tried to put a "social issues" type of pretense to his film but it ended up as this muddled and cluttered corny mush. The same can be said about the second installment.

The main problem with On The Job 2 is that it takes itself too damn seriously for its own good. There's no sense of satire or irony because everything seems so glum and heavy handed. And frankly, these political expose type of film had been done better before by guys like Lino Brocka. My advice is to just watch Pretty Boy Hoodlum. While not really a good film, at least it is somewhat entertaining.
