Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story
This movie looks awesome! Where do i even begin?! First, of all it’s an honest-to-goodness Pinoy gangster movie (and the return of the action film!).. It’s shot entirely in black and white! (Everything’s just classier in black and white). And then there’s a kalesa chase/shootout scene.. A KALESA CHASE/SHOOTOUT SCENE!!!
Although it’s quite baffling to see the aging Jorge Estregan as Asiong when the real Asiong was supposed to have been killed at 27. Seriously, Estregan is what, 50? Baron Geisler in that role would have made more sense. But Estregan probably produced this one, so he gets the starring role.
But this early preview looks really cool. As in really cool. Though I can’t say for the movie itself, since I don’t know how the story and acting will play out. But this preview has sold me — I know what I’ll be watching come MMFF.
