    Nice!

    First time seeing something like this in Philippine history of movies. I love it. It's intense ! I don't wanna spoil more just enjoy this amazing movie.

    Wasted Arcilla and Dantes a lot, just so they can add something to the MMFF.

    While it followed most of the plot from the original 2015 Korean original, the execution of it all was abysmal. The action scenes had the typical, nonsensical Filipino ingredient in it. The slowmo, the unnecessary zoom-in. It felt like I was watching ABS-CBN's "Ang Probinsyano".

    They kept on adding the unnecessary comedic antics to the film when the plot itself wasn't funny. The plot (original) was amazing and it fits well in the Filipino narrative of drugs and corrupt police officers. However, to add some scenes just to make it funny RUINS it. The ferocity of Arcilla and Dantes' acting was spoiled because of this. The climax was written poorly, and especially the ending. They should've stuck with the ending just like the original Korean film, but they just had to make it into a 'good' ending because Filipinos can't handle a 'bad' ending plot-wise.

    Poorly executed film. The actors and actresses did a good job, but their efforts were wasted on a poorly written film--an adapted film at that.

    Worth watching!!!

    This is not your typical Filipino action movie. Philippines should produce more movies like this. Kudos to the production team and artists. Ding Dong Dantes is brilliant as always!

    its a complete copy cat of a foreign movie.

    Its a complete copy cat of a foreign movie. Everything is the same. I hope we can do better. Hopefully the writer will explain why its the same. I will not state the name of the foreign movie.

    Wasted opportunity!!

    Dingdong dantes and john arcilla is a very good actors But adding unnecessary comedy scenes o this movies wasnt funny. The original korean film was amazing and very entertaining, You can feel his hardship. This movies could have been waaaay better if they stay on the original story or plot. Jokes were placed very bad, Unnecessary slowmo, its like watching some action drama teleserye in the PH. This is why filipino directors need to adopt to the international movies. Wake up! Study the film. Study the story. The action scenes are not entertaining. I keep on shaking my head while watching and didnt finished the movie.
