A lot of the late dictator's loyalists will hype this film up but its really, really boring. It's not the worst film I've seen but just like most of Darryl Yap's films, it's trash. Much of the acting from Christine Reyes is just her shouting. It's a grating noise to the ears. The maids in the film are the best part of it as the delivery of their lines are somewhat entertaining, however the lines and "hugots" feel so forced and shallow. The emotional scenes feel so forced. It's obviously a propaganda film and a really boring one at that. It had an okay start but dragged so much at the middle almost as if they were trying to fit a bunch of propaganda from a checklist. The soundtrack and cinematography are okay but not enough to salvage the film. Skip it.
