All the "excellent" reviews on this film are clearly fake.
I caught this while on vacation in LA out of curiosity, as I've never seen a mainstream Filipino movie before. The Western names on most of the movie poster credits seem to indicate that it might be OK.
Boy, was I wrong.
Biggest pile of poorly written/acted/cast sh*t I've ever seen in my life. And in bad fake 3D!
After a quick google, the director appears to be some rich idiot banker with too much money on his hands and fancied being a "director".
It turns out that the theaters this film was only being shown in are:
ALSO OWNED BY HIM.
If there's any justice, the film negative should be burned and recycled into something useful, like a toilet roll holder.

A friend of mine from England showed the DVD to me when he came to visit - and I couldn't believe how lame and UN-tense this so-called thriller was... good god, where do I begin? The plot was un-original, acting surprisingly wooden (the director must be blamed), flabby editing and totally hokey sound design (the overuse of whip-pan sound was cringe-worthy). And the tension? It was about as tense as watching dry paint stay dry.
Then I watched the extras on the DVD. Lots of handy advice for new filmmakers, but I watched with amazement as the main crew "bigged-up" this film as if it was a genius early George Lucas effort. The fact it got a fancy screening at BAFTA beggared belief... and I thought the Aussie film industry only produced "try-hard" films.
I showed it to my film school lecturer just to make sure I wasn't being unduly naive in my reaction, and she was even more shocked at how bad it was, especially considering the budget that went into it.
If you Brits can produce utter genius like "Shaun Of The Dead", how on earth do you produce tripe like "Ten Minutes"?
