In
the traffic-laden streets of Metro Manila, two brothers use the chaos
of the city roads as a smokescreen for their shady occupation -- tandem
robbers on motorbike. But when a robbery goes sour, the brothers are
forced to graduate from low level thieves to high profile hit men in an
act that tests both their resolve and their relationship.
Tandem
is an awesome compelling action suspense that is every bit as intense
as the most gripping thriller turns for a story that has obvious social
relevance. Powerfully directed and acted, the film stays true to its
story while remaining as gripping as any solidly crafted action
thriller. While the film benefits greatly from having such a reliable
actors, it doesn't live and breathe only by the performance, it also
speaks to the intensity of the film making. Anchored with the strong
subdued performance by the two lead actors Nico Antonio and JM De
Guzman, Tandem is a much watch film in this years' MMFF New Wave 2015.
My Verdict: 3.5/5
