Political messages aside, the movie editing is messy and incoherent at times. The scene transitions were bad even for a typical Filipino drama. The acting seems forced and the story direction tries too hard but fails to convince viewers to sympathize with the cast because of badly placed comedic banters in between scenes and badly-written script. It seems like the director didn't learn or even try to improve on his filmmaking formula which has already been frowned upon in his previous films.
