Sometime you must risk all when you get a chance.
An independently produced from both the countries, Phillipines and United Kingdom which was selected to represent Britain at the 2013 Oscars. This crime-thriller is about a family’s struggle and involvement in a crime affair. From the director of ‘Cashback’ another excellent and a different movie. When the movie ‘Where God Left His Shoes’ meets ‘Armored’, the ‘Metro Manila’ forms. But in a better way in every minute detail. With the beautiful dialogues and the performances the story makes you wonder how long it can drag. The value of sacrifice for the sake of the family’s survive strikes with the unexpected twist.

A farmer family who failed to harvest in large quantity gets a little value for what they got in the hands. The savings are not enough to invest for the next season. So the whole family, father, mother and two children decide to travel to the capital city to earn money. They struggle to get a place to stay in the threatening Manila city where it is crowded, polluted and illegal activities are soaring high. Being a farmer family, they are the easiest target to get cheated. Both the parents get a decent job till they come to know the reason behind their recruitment. And what comes after is the family’s only chance to put a full stop for all the struggles for once.

”You have more chances of seeing an alien than winning the lotto.”

You know what impressed me in this movie, the reality. Everything I saw was like a documentary movie till the last quarter. In the last few minutes I realized that I am watching a movie. That is only because of the awesome twist and turn to end the story on a high note. From beginning to the end the narration was precisely defined about the life in Manila city, especially in the category of below poverty line. The honest was convinced me and so the great end with a line: I too want to save my family, but my plan was never based on a dream. One of the best dramas based on the innocent family. It won’t try to convince you with the family sentiments, but stays true and unveils the brutality of the metro city which apply same proportion for any other metros in the world. A rare gem and won’t be wrong to say it is a must see.

A Familiar Tale Compellingly Told
METRO MANILA tells a familiar tale of a farmer Oscar Ramirez (Jake Macapagal) and his family coming to Manila to find work, after they are unable to continue their previous lives as farmers. They find the city to be both corrupt and amoral: Oscar is forced to work as a security guard, while his wife Mai (Althea Vega) works nights in a seedy bar as an hostess. They try to sustain their basically blameless lives, but find themselves sucked into other people’s plans for financial gain. Eventually Oscar becomes involved in his colleague Douglas Ong’s (John Arcilla’s) elaborate plot to defraud their employers by faking a robbery. Needless to say the plan goes wrong, and Oscar is encouraged to depart from the moral straight and narrow with tragic results. Sean Ellis’ film captures the corrupt, breathless life of contemporary Manila through stunning photography, as well as shot-sequences whose cuts blend into one another, creating a nightmarish world that haunts all the city’s inhabitants. “Good” and “evil” no longer have any real significance for anyone; in a world of unrestrained capitalism, everyone is on the make and out to exploit their fellow human-beings. Despite his Christian faith, Oscar discovers to his cost that even he cannot remain immune. The action of this film is a little slow to get going, but once it does, it transforms itself into a compelling thriller. Ellis’ camera continually focuses on close-ups of Ramirez’s face as he gradually undergoes a rude awakening to the realities of contemporary city life: Macapagal gives a compelling performance as someone sucked against his will into the vortex of corruption.
