Movie Review: Double Twisting Double Back

A year ago, Badger is one of the best gymnasts in the Philippines. He wants to be the very best, until his reckless best friend sabotaged his athletic career. Now, Badger is miserably working as a distributor, selling alcoholic beverages to the managers of bars and supermarkets. To his delight, Badger receives a new opportunity to pursue his quest to be the best Filipino gymnast. He immediately resigns from his job. His reckless best friend, who fulfills his desires through this job, gets pissed and vows to stop Badger’s dreams once again.

Double Twisting Double Back is a sports drama film that will make you think from start to finish. It challenge your inner demon and mirror the realities of our local athletes. It  is such a strong character-driven on the way the film presents the protagonist and his journey without trying to force the viewer into a distinct point of view and simply shows us the actions of the character. Aside from their effective & brave performance, the sexual tension between Joem Bascon and Tony Labrusca is so real and a must watch. You can really see a bright future ahead of Tony for being able to deliver in this complex character. Joem on the other hand prove in this film his capabilities and range of his acting is really superb and can go miles away. There is a lot of redeeming value in this film that we can reflect on aside from the mental health awareness it also shows the harsh realities of our sports athletes. The editing, sound and music of the film is very good that really suits to the tone and mood of the film. So if you want to watch a different kind of sports drama with erotic tension on the side, watch Double Twisting Double Back.




My Verdict: 4/5
