On The Job is about the ambitions and passions of four men trying to make a living, for themselves and their families. It shows the parallels between two prison inmates who are contract killers, and the two agents of the law investigating the murders. As they get caught in a web of machination of corrupt government officials, their jobs lead them on a head-on collision against each other with their loved ones as collateral damage.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
"On the Job" is a sturdy and sophisticated crime drama from the Philippines that takes a pretty gruesome situation and enriches its presentation with lots of human detail.
– Mick LaSalle,

fresh:
Matti uses this setup to show the rot in Philippine society, and it's often compelling stuff - filmed mostly on dirty streets and in moldy, ramshackle buildings.
– Farran Smith Nehme,

fresh:
Even at its most incomprehensible, the propulsive thriller "On the Job" is never less than arresting.
– Jeannette Catsoulis,
New York Times,
26 Sep 2013
fresh:
Despite the relative flatness of [the] characters - their relationships to one another are more archetypal than particular - the film is as heartbreaking as it is heart-stopping.
– Inkoo Kang,
Los Angeles Times,

fresh:
The film manages to create some moments of genuine nervous tension, but is undercut by its split storytelling.
