empty noises, empty gestures

Despite relatively professional production values, this is a terrible movie. The conflict of the three main characters is totally incomprehensible, absurd and irrelevant. The acting is of the poorest quality, despite the strong scenic presence of Orisel Gaspar and Eduaye Muniz. They all engage in interminable yelling, exaggerated posturing and puerile dialogues which end up as empty noises and empty gestures. Gaspar and Muniz could do better with a better script and a better director, but this is just cartoonish and stereotypical acting.It is difficult to find any redeeming value in this movie, any sequence worth remembering. And if there is a political message, I missed it. The only excuse is that this is Joel Cano's first film.
