The film is slow paced. Cannot comment much on the historical accuracy of Goyo's life cause really there isnt really much record about him. In terms of pacing it is slow because, much was focused on his stay in the town. It tried much to picture him as babaero but falls in love. Which is really not historically relevant.
As for the battle scene, the director should really work on improving the fight scenes and the assault on Tirad Pass. Just like in Heneral Luna. Hindi coordinated un mga soldiers. Ang layo ng distance ng kalaban they are firing pistols that obviously will not reach the target .
