Sitio Diablo (2022)
8/10
Horny gangsters
19 January 2023
If you combine Peque Gallaga and Lore Reyes' Gangland, Jim Libiran's Tribu, Ciudades de Dios and Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York, then amplify the sex in Libiran's film, the end product would be "Sitio Diablo". The film is a very gutsy movie that tries to push the envelope even further beyond, on what could be acceptably presented on screen.

The director of the film does a great job in presenting the gore and violence and in depicting the squalor in the slums. This is what Libiran's Tribu could have been if it had a bigger budget. What sets Perez's movie apart from the other movies mentioned though are the generous amounts of sex. One sequence specifically shows an orgy which would make the director, Roman Perez, a great porno maker along with Peque Gallaga and Lore Reyes.

A few of the action scenes could've used a little more work in the choreography department such as the rumble scene in the middle of the film but in its entirety, this is a fantastic production that may serve as a springboard in reviving the long dead Filipino hard action genre.
