Speaking of Dennis Padilla, in the version I watched, he was in the movie since the start, he was even there when Asiong and his gang attacked Viray's Place. But overall, Manila Kingpin is worth watching. Post a Comment. It is quite redundant, so to speak, that a film about the untold story of a notorious figure such as Asiong Salonga, has an untold version which may never see the light of day.
But enough of that for now. The version circulating in theaters as of this writing, as you will vividly notice, is missing a directorial credit. You will not see Direk Tikoy's name, and yet traces of his directorial brilliance can be felt all over the place, at least during the early scenes. Rumor has it that the latter part is the " inepal " bastardized version. There were scenes that did not make sense, and another rumor circulated that not only were there edits made without Tikoy's consent, some scenes were even reshot by another director.
All sanctioned by Governor E. In respect, the film has a lot of angst faithful to the gangster sub-genre of action films. People are always angry. People are always at each other's throats, and it is understandable since it is late s in Tondo, where crime was rampant and egos were high.
There is considerable amount of genius to the screenplay. Some of the dialogue are music to the ears, while some doesn't make sense. Ejercito, as a lot of people have already declared, is noticeably old as Asiong who died at 28 , being around Baron Geisler, Ketchup Eusebio, and Ping Medina among others.
His biggest asset is his allusion to Joseph Estrada, what with his voice timbre and posture, and his glare. And what's up with Dennis Padilla, who did not exist at all during the first half, and suddenly pops like a mushroom after Asiong got imprisoned. Who is he? We know he's an ally of Asiong, but who is he?
