This story has been told over and over since 1986. There's nothing new to the story. The actors gave their best but everything is predictable. The ending left a bad taste in the mouth since it made killing acceptable as long as those who became killers join the Edsa rally.
It was obvious that the producers and director made this film to combat the narrative of another film about the Marcos side of the EDSA narrative but the story they chose about a poor family is very generic. It is a tale that happens in other countries and in every generation not just during the Marcos Era. Every character is a walking cliche.
