He criticized the film's story as lacking believability, while the filmmaking, "from Jojo Lapus's script and Junn Cabreira's direction down to the cast — with the possible exception of [Vic] Vargas and Ali Sotto — smack of the gross commercialization of local cinema, mainly through the violence..."[2]
