EXPLOSIVE

Rudy Fernandez was adjudged as best actor in this movie, but it's Karen Montelibano who stole the movie. Truly, Karen even outshined Ara Mina. She's the next big thing! Roy Alvarez and Emilio Garcia are both lucky guys to play fire with Karen in the movie!

The movie plot is quite usual. But still the movie commands respect.

This movie is for Fernandez's die hard fans! Personalan na ito!
