Plot

Set in 2011 when the Philippines is taken over by a military junta, Hesus Mariano (Mark Anthony) is ordered by Rebel Leader Miguel Reynante (Ronnie) to assassinate his cellmates. After a series of battles, Hesus finds himself in a coma, only to wake up in the hands of Col. Arnold Simon (Joel). Drawing inspiration from his childhood sweetheart Hilda (Donita), Hesus decides to take control of the game.[2]

Cast

Production

Principal photography of the film lasted for 20 days. The titular character is inspired by José Rizal's characters Crisostomo and Simoun.[1] This marks Donita Rose's comeback film after four years, her last being the 1998 film Legacy.[9]

A symposium for the film was held at the University of the Philippines Film Center on January 24, 2001.[10][11]

Reception

The film performed poorly in the box office and was pulled out from theaters two days after its release. Nonetheless, it received dominantly positive reviews. Andrew Paredes of the Manila Standard praised the film for retaining the iconoclasm throughout the film. However, he criticized Diaz's constant allegiance to his own ethic for Donita's brief presence in the film.[12] Noel Vera describes the film as dystopian type of science fiction. He praised Diaz for combining the influences of José Rizal, George Orwell and video games in the film with ideas fit for at most six films. He also cited mixed reaction regarding the story's uneven flow; gunfire scenes patterned after Counterstrike inserted between extended meditative stillness.[1]
