Banal

Watching the five Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entries at Glorietta cinemas earned me a free movie ticket at Glorietta! The only movie I have not yet watched that is being shown in Glorietta cinemas is Banal, an action, drama movie. Thus, after office, proceeded directly to the Glorietta movie house (after stepping off the Metro Rail Transit at the Ayala Station).


Two cops who is totally opposite from each other in their beliefs/philosophy formed an unlikely bond when they met during their SWAT training. Cris (played by Paolo Contis) is idealistic and conscientious while Jayson (played by Alfred Vargas) is ambitious and corrupt. After a few years, their path crossed again. Their differing views would put them at odds as they uncover the plot to assassinate the Pope.

The two lead actors are talented and they complement each other. The movie added an actual event which one can mistake that the movie is based on a true story. (The same formula used in the Da Vinci Code wherein one fact is combined with another fact making the "theory" seemed a fact.)
