Review of Babangon ako't dudurugin kita

I missed watching this in theaters since at that time I don't care that much for Filipino movies. When this film has been released in video (betamax at that time) I asked my sister to rent it. I regret that I wasn't able to watch it on the big screen. First, the great casting of all Lino Brocka babies (Hilda Koronel, Christopher De Leon and Bembol Roco) except Sharon Cuneta (the Philippines' Megastar) make up for this somewhat clichéd 'pinoy' melodrama based on comics but comes up with strong performances for all of the actors especially Sharon as the vengeful Salve. Acclaimed-Director Lino Brocka brings out the best in her, most especially the 'final' confrontation scene. You feel for her character as she try to rebuild her life while at the same time planning to destroy the life of a man she truly love.
