Playtime revolves around three women from three different worlds who find themselves
in the same situation involving a man they all mistakenly trust.
Vlogger-influencer Allyson (Sanya) entertains a seemingly harmless fan but soon finds
out how dangerous he actually is.
Bride-to-be Roni (Coleen) wants one last adventure before she settles down. She decides
to hook up with a stranger in a bar.
Meanwhile, Patricia (Faye) only wants to get away from her abusive ex. She naively trusts
a stranger she sees as a ‘hero’ who rescues her from her boyfriend.
Three women. Three strangers of different personalities. Three lives intertwine as Allyson,
Roni, and Patricia get entangled with the same man: Lucas (Xian).
Lucas wants to play, but his idea of playing games is far from what these women
imagined.
Playtime is a decently made Filipino suspense film. It is a refreshing take on the thriller genre. You never expect what is coming. Xian Lim, Coleen Garcia, Faye Lorenzo and Sanya Lopez understood their characters well and gave justice to it. Xian Lim is consistent from his character and plays effectively as a charming man that will lure you and you will hate at the same time. You will definitely root for Coleen Garcia as an ideal and perfectionist woman in this film. Faye Lorenzo is a revelation in this film and a newcomer actress that you will definitely watch out. I appreciate Sanya Lopez more in this film as an actress, as she will surprise you with her breathtaking performance.The campy and humor of the film is fun to watch and adds excitement as you continue to unfold the journey of the film. So if you are a fan of a slasher film and ready to be thrilled inside the cinema, you will love this!
My Verdict: 4/5
