(Philippines, 2012, 93 mins, DCP)
Stealing a middle-class woman’s smartphone is the biggest mistake in the petty-criminal life of Jess (singer Nico Antonio in an impressive acting debut). It not only gets him locked up and waterboarded, but also gives him a crash-course in the workings of a deeply corrupted system. Lawrence Fajardo’s powerful film gives the term "police procedural" a very dark twist.
