Slum life and crime in Manila.
Sinekatalog’s take
Brillante Mendoza's drama follows a day and night in Manila's slums, with petty criminals, gamblers and mothers weaving through its crowded streets. Jaclyn Jose and Coco Martin star in a raw, vivid and frenzied portrait of poverty.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
