Jerrold Tarog
Set during the Philippine-American War, a short-tempered Philippine Revolutionary Army general faces an enemy more formidable than the American army: his own treacherous countrymen.
Top critics, in their words
Anchored by a charismatic central performance by John Arcilla ("Metro Manila") and peppered with exciting action sequences, the pic has the all-around energy to overcome the odd moment of bumpy storytelling and prosaic dialogue.
From an American perspective, "Heneral Luna" may not be much of a film, but it's a fascinating artifact.
"Heneral Luna" would never be mistaken for more serious-minded art-house material, but there are certainly less lively ways to be taught a history lesson.
Tarog works around modest resources to create a sense of sweep and dimension. As with Luna himself, the film might go too far at times, but there's much to admire.
Really, when a film works this hard to rouse you, there's no shame in just giving in.
