Kinsenas, katapusan

Amazing, another pointless Filipino movie about infidelity and showing off lewd sex scenes.

Yeah, that was all there was to the movie from writers Luigi Perez and GB Sampedro. Sure, when I stumbled upon the movie and seeing the movie's cover, I wasn't harboring much of any grand expectations to the movie. But it was listed as a thriller, so I figured I would give it a shot.

But it turned out to be yet another ridiculously scripted movie about inappropriate relationships and a chance for director GB Sampedro to show off lewd sex scenes and naked women.

I managed to endure a staggering and mind-numbingly 37 minutes of the 90 minute runtime, then I just tossed the towel in the ring and gave up out of sheer and utter boredom. There simply was nothing worthwhile or entertaining to be experienced in the script and storyline that writers Luigi Perez and GB Sampedro managed to conjure up. It felt like the fantasy of some adolescent young men, and nothing else.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. Nor can I claim that I was impressed with a single performance that was on display on the screen. And it was just painstakingly obvious that the women on the cast list were cast solely for their willingness to get naked in front of a camera.

I am sure that there is an immature audience out there for a movie such as "Kinsenas. Katapusan" (aka "Two Weeks, End"). I just happened to not be a part of that audience, and thus found absolutely no enjoyment in this dumpster fire of a movie.

My rating of "Kinsenas. Katapusan" lands on a one out of ten stars.

Seventeen - Die Freundin meiner Tochter (also known as "Two Weeks, End") is an erotic film about the escapades of a wayward married man in his 40s. He eventually lands in a steamy affair with his daughter's (underaged) friend, who is not entirely mentally stable.

The narrative offers nothing new, and the acting may be subpar, but these movies exist mostly to titillate, and that's exactly what it does. There's plenty of skin on show throughout the movie, including the nude debut of Miss Earth Philippines 2019, Janelle Tee. I can imagine that seeing these Filipino beauties alone is worth the price of admission.

The thriller part of the movie falls very short but does offer a very dark and unexpectedly downbeat ending to cap it all off.

Just as Fifty Shades is aimed at bored housewives, Seventeen will appeal to middle-aged men in the same way.

Its a story about a "characterless" dad in his 40's who gets entangled with a his daughter's school (best) friend. This man is already having an affair with one of his female employee in his real estate company...also have a wife who is always thinking that her husband is cheating but never caught him red handed.

The girl turns out to be a psycho, who is under a pseudo-name of "Beth", looking for real love. But eventually she gets a feeling that the friend's "dad" is also like rest of the world & have used her, things gets out of hand. Ending is quite cliched...have seen it before.

Nothing new to offer. Can watch it if nothing else to do.

No pun intended - the movie is quite ... all over the place. There is the schoolgirl fantasy, there is the sneaky aspect of it .. there is the age gap ... there are quite a few things. And all seems almost without too easy ... there are some cringe and weird moments. But they seem to come and go quite quickly.

We do not seem to get a lot of psychology ... no analytics to speak of. With that he could make an effort to watch this and reflect. The ending came quite from left field ... which is either a welcome twist ending or just another annoying gimmick, that just tries to sway you over ... will you be swayed or not? One thing is for sure: nudity happens, so you should not be too sensitive.
