On The Job (2013) CLEAR COPY

Production Company: Star Cinema / Reality Entertainment **** Filipino crime thriller inspired by a real-life scandal in which prison inmates are temporarily released from prison to work as contract killers on behalf of politicians and high ranking military officials. Piolo Pascual plays an NBI agent on the hunt for an escaped inmate who becomes a hitman, played by Gerald Anderson. Unshaven and crazy-eyed, Gerald sheds his “good boy” image to play this role. Shaina Magdayao plays the daughter of a congressman and Piolo's wife. As the plot thickens, Piolo’s character must choose between his duty, family, and conscience. "On the Job" promises a different take on “mainstream” movies or movies produced by major film companies that usually fall under the genres of romantic comedy, comedy, or drama. **** Directed by Erik Matti.
