Movie Review: Mamasapano: Now It Can Be Told

This new film tells the story of the 44 Special Action Force (SAF) officers who died on their mission during the tragic Mamasapano clash of 2015.

The story of the Mamasapano clash where 44 Special Action Force officers of the Philippine National Police (PNP) died on their mission from the point of view of then-PNP Deputy Chief of Operations Major General Benjamin Magalong as he was heading the investigation. 

Mamasapano: Now It Can Be Told is an updated and decent Filipino action war film with a relevant story to tell for our unsung heroes. It's been a while since we saw a Filipino action film in the cinema and I can say that this is a good one. The flow of the story is decent and its special effects are also well done. So for action movie lovers out there, you will definitely enjoy watching this film. The film is also a good recall of what happened to the Mamasapano encounter and an eye opener as well for the ins and outs in military operations and the politics outtakes in the Philippines.

My Verdict: 3.5/5
