CGiii Comment

From the director of the exceptional Maximo Oliveros - all the talent he displayed in that film has disappeared into the wilderness with this mindless, exploitative crap.

The Filippino audience must be getting tired of the same story told over and over again.

It's a cheap way of making movies: re-hash an old story, employ cheap rent boys to show off their bodies and everyone will rush to buy it.

Don't - it is sickeningly bad.
