A cinematic take on the prisoner for hire contract killing industry, "On the Job" handles the sordid business in nonstop action. A tale of heroes and villains where matters turn out as they shouldn't be but eventually fall in their proper place. Amid the filthy and derelict backdrop of the city good goes toe to toe against evil augmenting the grey area that thinly divides crime and the law. The all-star cast of Gerald Anderson, Piolo Pascual, Joel Torre and Joey Marquez do a fine job with their respective roles and the soundtrack heightens the mood and the vibe. The film is mostly a typical action flick with lots of motion but no substance until the end where an unexpected twist rounds up the film in one deeply moving climax of tragedy and redemption. One of the finest Action flicks from Philippine cinema this is one any Action or film fan wouldn't mind seeing.
