5/10
Good story but bad acting

Warning: Spoilers
This movie could have been great if the acting was better. The story has potential though the script is a bit off. They used some formal Filipino language for conversations that it sounded unreal. The tone of the actors also sounded scripted.

*Spoiler Alert* There are some scenes that looked impossible and sometimes stupid. An average Filipino can't bring a gun in an airplane. You won't even pass the boarding area with a knife. Nobody robs an airplane. It could have been possible in the Philippines if it was a bus. You wouldn't bring your whole family in the city away from your hometown with a couple of hundred pesos not knowing where to live and get money to buy food to eat. It's just... .

The only thing I liked in this movie is the cinematography and music. This movie is worth watching only because of the Yolanda proceeds. Let's help them.
