Scrappy filmmaking can sometimes deliver superb storytelling, as is proven by Erik Matti’s initially wobbly but increasingly gripping, increasingly thoughtful, increasingly increasing three-and-a-half-hour “On the Job: The Missing 8,” the prolific Filipino director’s Venice-competing sequel to the 2013 Cannes Directors’ Fortnight title “On the Job.” While the film unfolds more like the TV show it’s about to become, that’s hardly a diss these days. And in its current shape — due largely to screenwriter Michiko Yamamoto’s uncanny ability to keep multiple narrative balls in the air at once — it combines the immersive, occasionally spectacular pleasures of genre cinema with the greedy moreishness of longform TV models. It’s a sprawling, satisfying big-screen binge.
It also plays somewhat like a 209-minute dolly zoom: As the aperture widens on the intensely corrupt landscape of a society under strongman leadership, the focus also narrows onto one man’s painful ethical reawakening.

The film is based on a series of actual events that shocked the public in the Philippines, where prison inmates were contracted by politicians to temporarily leave jail and conduct a number of assassinations before they returned to prison.
“On the Job” is screening at the 17th New York Asian Film Festival
The story revolves around two axes, which collide at times, based on the aforementioned story. The first one concerns two inmates-assassins, veteran Tatang and his trainee, Daniel. The first one actually has a family, and uses the money he receives to support them and to pay for his daughter’s intuition, who is studying law. Daniel, on the other hand, is a cocky, naive, and a bit too eager young man who lies to his mother about what he is actually doing. When the two of them murder a drug lord, veteran Sergeant Acosta is tasked with the investigation,...

The first full-length Filipino film to be shot using green screens is an exploitation movie with a style that Quentin Tarantino would probably adore.
Cocky and lazy Makoy travels from Manila to the remote province of Pulupandan, to reconcile with his pregnant girlfriend, Sonia. Fely, her mother however, is fed up with him and does not want her daughter to end up with an unemployed playboy, a sentiment that eventually Sonia also adopts. On the other hand, Sonia’s father, Nestor, and their helper, Bart, are not so hard on him and even invite him to spend the night after the three of them go to the market to buy...

It's a familiar problem for the criminal element: You need to rub your enemies out, but those pesky police always end up apprehending your shooters. The solution, as presented in Erik Matti's On the Job (and based on a frankly amazing real-life scandal in the Philippines), is to use prisoners—temporarily freed from incarceration with the blessing of corrupt prison officials—to perform political assassinations. The drama follows two of these prisoners, the world-weary "Tatang" (Joel Torre) and his up-and-coming hitman protégé, Daniel (Gerald Anderson). There's also a parallel story involving a golden-boy federal investigator (Piolo Pascual), himself the son of a former congressman, and a grizzled police sergeant (Joey Marquez) who may or not have told us...
