Manilla exposé
19 April 2019
Or Manilla Confidential. That's a true gritty, tough, brutal, rough crime movie I am talking about now. Another product from this part of the world, in the line of METRO MANILLA and CROSSROADS ONE TWO JAGGA. Realism is here at its peak, not for all audiences. 99 % of people won't like this film, a biliion years from Hollywood cliché features. No hero here, only misfits, rogue cops, brutal facist methods using heats. You have to know that the Philippines government openly authorizes force abuse from the police against drug traffic, methods which would be forbiddden in Western world and disapproved by Geneva convention. I loved the scene where the petty punk, the drug pusher hids his drug inside his baby's napkin. Realism at his best in this outstanding movie.
