Tagalog Movie
The political thriller Bente features three parallel stories
of the three main characters--– a hard-hitting radio commentator
Arnie Guerrero (Estrada), a bodyguard (Gomez) of a corrupt mayor,
who is frequently criticized in radio programs, and the student
activist Mervin (Gatchalian).
The mayor instructed his bodyguard
to murder Arnie after he has revealed corrupt practices of the
said mayor on his radio show.
The bodyguard, on the other
hand, has his own personal problems as his wife played by Iza
Calzado is committing adultery.
Mervin has his own fair share
of death threats, given by his participation in social movements.
The movie will feature a climactic ending, which will surely
change forevermore the loves of the three main characters.
To
support the interesting plot are superb performances from the
lead and supporting casts.
Goma portrayed his character very
well. Even when he has no dialogs and just standing or sitting
still, his presence is felt with skyrocketing intensity.
Jinggoy’s
portrayal of a happily-married man who fears nothing, even death,
just to support his cause is nothing short of fantastic.
Aldred’s
acting, on the other hand, was just enough to give justice to
the role of a young social activist.
Aside from receiving
a very rare A from the Cinema Evaluation Board, the film Bente
was showered with praises and positive comments from those who
saw it.
Directed by Mel Chionglo.
