Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Boasts the stock characters and situations, sentimentality, foreshadowing and melodrama of soap opera. Yet by cleverly blending these ingredients with those of an action caper, the pic presents a fresher appeal.

fresh:
It's pacy, engrossing, and Jake Macapagal's turn as the plucky schmuck protagonist is stellar
– Trevor Johnston,

fresh:
The movie works as a contemporary look at desperation in crime-riddled Manila, but it's also as deliciously old-fashioned as the late '40s-era film noir "Kiss of Death," and nearly as entertaining.
– Rob Nelson,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
31 Mar 2014
fresh:
As bleak as a Dickens novel, yet twinned with a contemporary heist drama, Metro Manila straddles two worlds in telling the story of a desperate family man who moves from a small farm to the city.
– Linda Barnard,

Proof that you can't go wrong with the same old story.
