Ang Alamat ng Lawin

About This Movie

So, 'Ang Alamat ng Lawin' is quite a trip, isn’t it? It leans heavily into that action-fantasy vibe typical of early 2000s Philippines cinema. The pacing is uneven, sometimes slow, then suddenly it ramps up with some over-the-top action sequences. You can tell they had fun with practical effects—definitely not cutting-edge, but there's a charm in the execution. The performances, especially from the lead, try to balance the whimsical and the serious, though sometimes it feels like they’re not quite sure which direction to go. Themes of bravery, family ties, and mythical creatures pop up, but the silliness keeps it all light. The poster honestly says more than you might expect about the tone—don’t judge too fast.
