big disappointment

Timing was so perfect...only a few days away from the independence celebration..

The theme and genre was longed by the market...

The marketing effort has managed to create such an awareness and expectation to get people flocking in with such level of curiosity and anticipation...

The idealism and all that jazz are there..

But...this motion picture failed in delivering its promises...

Yes...we are all waiting for some quality local pictures to come to our cinemas..

Casts were those of high quality...

But, could I believe the way the plot was carried out...after one hour I haven't even seen any war scene; and this was suppose to be a war movie..

cinematography was awful...they're keep overusing close-ups even for scenes that needs something like a bird-eye's view or something with a broader angle..

Storyline was way too cliché and the dialogs are all jumbled...

I think what they really wanted to show was how that different colors of the archipelago managed to gone through all their differences, joined together by a noble cause and coming out as a band-o'-brothers..

I can't believe this how this movie had ruined such a perfect occasion and wasted so many talents (on and off screen as well).

For goodness sake...work on the storyline, people!!
