IHMO REVIEW :
just saw this movie tonight - it's playing this week at the varsity theather in U District, if you miss it it'll be on netflix soon.

so here's my review.

if you dislike violence or/and have bad motion sickness this movie isn't for you. (two peeps walked out of the movie)

but if you like great story - edge of your seat - indie - smart movies then this is for you. there are two main characters in this movie and they are the writers of this movie. one filmed it while the other was the main character which you follow + the director also played the second character which you never see. it's a slice of life - it's scary and it's very very believable. it takes you to the phillippines and exposes you to their culture as well as what happens to some unfortunate souls.

roldy originally dotted this with a summary so if you want to read it - go ahead, but i would suggest (if you're interested in viewing this) to view it without reading the summary. it'll keep you at the edge of your seat. the way the story is told is great.

PLUS if you're someone whose thought about making a movie i'd highly recommend watching this. i'm very curious to know how much was spent making this movie. it seemed very low budget - but the story was great. i'd say this is a great example of how with enginuity you can still make a compelling movie.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (as long as you're okay with violence and motion)
