was cooked up by writer-director Shugo Praico and co-produced by Philip King and Lino Cayetano through the production company Rein Entertainment. Previously, they created the 2019 crime dramaAt the heart of this gripping, disturbing film is Heaven Peralejo, who gives a stunning performance as Me-Ann.
Mr. Veneracion, known as a heartthrob in his other work, also starts off predictably as he plays a handsome police officer engaging in a steamy, extramarital affair. It’s when things get dark and we learn of Chief’s secrets relating to a culture of corruption and violence that his inner, complex monster steals the show, earning him a Best Actor win.

The violent scenes are then shot and choreographed dynamically, as if putting the viewer in the same stressful scenario as the characters. However, a film portraying grueling situations for its characters should not be as grueling for the audience.
