Ginto’t Pilak

About This Movie

Ginto’t Pilak is a curious entry in the late '90s Filipino action genre. Directed by Romy Suzara, it features Rudy Fernandez in a standout role, with Rosanna Roces adding a compelling layer. The pacing feels like a rollercoaster, with action sequences that balance between explosive and unexpected moments. The practical effects might not hold up by today's standards, but they have a certain charm—there's something refreshing about how they were executed without heavy reliance on CGI. The film dives into themes of loyalty and betrayal, creating a tense atmosphere throughout. Bong Villafuerte’s performance adds depth, contrasting well with the more action-oriented leads, making the dynamics interesting. It's a solid piece for collectors looking to explore the evolution of action cinema in the Philippines.
