Lampas Langit follows the story of Jake (Baron Geisler), a struggling writer who’s also having a hard time keeping his marriage afloat with Mylene (Chloe Jenna). In the condominium where they live, Jake meets his literary idol and famous novelist, Arman (Ricky Davao), and a young, attractive woman named Belle (Christine Bermas), who they thought as Arman’s daughter. Jake gets closer to Belle, immediately falls for her, and begins to have an affair.
These unexpected mishaps leave Jake confused and wondering. But what seems like a loose end becomes tied into a perfect bow when it is put together that right from the start, everything is a part of a big elaborate plan, like a perfectly written novel.
Lampas Langit is a well written erotic suspense thriller. It is a detailed character study of four leads in which each character has a mystery that you wait to unfold as the story progresses. The screenplay and dialogue are commendable and feels like written in a novel and effectively used in the film. The actors are also great portraying the complex character with unpredictable twists and turns that you never expect coming. Baron Geisler and Ricky Davao shine as they masterfully own their character well and I can say that this is one of Baron's fine performances in a film in recent years. Christine Bermas also acts well in this film together with the new actress on the rise Chloe Jenna. I can say that Lampas Langit is one of the Vivamax films that standout among other films due to its uniqueness in treatment and storytelling.
My Verdict: 4/5
