WARNING: SPOILER ALERT AT THE END OF THE POST
Buti na lang! Hindi ako nag-organize ng 'Movie Nights: Troika' sa G4M, aba lintek! Wala palang Troika sa Festival Mall Alabang. Namputsa!
I ended up calling Metropolis Alabang. Its my last resort dahil hindi naman nagpapalabas ng R-rated films sa SM Cinemas, particularly the one nearest to me was SM Southmall Las Piñas.
Anyway, last full show sa Metropolis was 8pm sharp. So Agent N & I met at around 7:45pm. Gass! Nakasabay ko pa sa jeep on the way to Metropolis yung schoolmate kong varsity player. He's a varsity dude so you know how he looks like. Kamukha (and has the same built) lang naman niya si Wendell Ramos. And he was extra sexy that night (may rampa?-LOLz), but I digress.
So ayun na, medyo kaunti ang nanunuod. I was pretty excited on this movie gawa nung trailer, poster at movie screencaps nya.
Binasa ko nga pala yung official MTRCB receipt ng Troika sa may ticket counter. Nakalagay dun, pinaiksi 'voluntarily' yung 4 na maseselang scenes sa movie.
1. Kamasutra scene (with Andre Soriano & Mara)
2. dildo scene (of Mara)
3. first threesome (this was with Lauren Novero & 2 pokpok girls)
4. second threesome (this was with the 3 lead casts inside the cave)
It didn't mention the alleged 'male frontals' but there's nothing in it on the film. The butt shots on the cave scene with the mineros was titillating though.
One thing I've noticed on the film is masyadong close-up ang facial shots. And its as if they are limited to one angle per person. Okay sana yung landscapes with all in Baguio, mining company, cave shots pati yung resthouse kaso medyo kinulang sa part nung editing & cinematography.
Lahat ng male actors dun 'yummy' ika nga ni Agent N. The acting is ok, pero bilib ako sa child actor (Carlo Lacana) kasi he plays as an autistic child na medyo may konting mental disturbance pag naiinis or nae-excite.
Mara, the lead actress is fine. Maganda siya actually. Her acting is superb for a newbie. Malayo ang mararating niya given the right exposure and projects. Sana lang, hindi lang siya malagay sa mga sexy roles.
Jamil Basa, who plays as a miner in the film is good. I like his lips, very kissable and his smile is drop-dead gorgeous. Very enticing, and the Igorot dance with Andre is very hot indeed! I do wonder kung talagang dinakot niya yung crotch area ni Andre sa mining cave scene? Maalab din ang kissing scenes nila. Mahusay ang direktor for that, pati na rin ang workshop trainer nila.
Andre Soriano, who plays husband to Mara is a one-and-a-half silahis (on the film). He has a resemblance with Raymart Santiago though, kaya lalo ko siyang nagustuhan. When I first saw the movie poster I thought it was Raymart talaga! Andre's acting is quite ok. Nakakaloko nga lang yung giggles nya on the 'drunk' scene. Was he really drunk at that time?! Natural na natural kasi. And I especially love the scene nung nagsuot siya ng pants sa room nya with his wife.
Medyo nakakatuwa nga lang during the movie house scene kasi I was doing the same thing Jamil Basa is doing to Andre Soriano's legs to Agent N! Haha! Kapilyuhan nga naman oo!
Lauren Novero who plays the former chief mining engineer also has a 'dakot' scene. Halatang hindi masyado nakadakot yung kamay nung girl sa crotch area ni Lauren. Parang may hawak tuloy siyang bola or something really round. Hunk pa rin talaga si Lauren, he's a perfect moreno for me. Sayang nga lang madilim masyado yung threesome niya with the 2 pokpok girls but I'm pretty sure he's naked in there.
The other miners were Will Sandejas, Provoq men Josh Ivan Morales & Johnron Tañada. The best ang butt scenes nila sa loob ng minahan. Whew! Hubad kung hubad, but no frontals. Siguro sa VCD/DVD release meron? Hahaha!
The good thing on these miners besides their buff bodies is of course their acting. Very good casting kasi nga probinsya yun. The curse lines of Will Sandejas during the sex scene and his storytelling is a classic! Kantong-kanto ka dong! Hahaha!
Criselda Volks & Raven Villanueva plays as two researchers on their track to the benefits & drawbacks of the gold mining industry. Ibang storyline naman ito. Pero I've noticed sa mining site scene, parang dun din nag-shoot yung 'Asian Treasures' with Marky Cielo & Carlos Morales. Yung part na may pinarusahan sa minahan at nadamay si Marky kasi nakialam siya. The site is familiar.
Storyline, medyo familiar pero unusual siguro para sa kultura nating mga Pinoy. May nabasa na rin akong story na parang ganto ang plot (courtesy of 'big boy') but it does not instigate a tragic ending.
Imagine, isang mag-asawa. Yung husband silahis, the wife is very much forgiving at mapagbigay talaga huh!? Gagawin lahat para sa ikaliligaya ni mister at isang estanghero na nakapagbibigay ng kasiyahan sa mag-asawa, pati na rin sa anak nila! But not sexually, damn! Yuckie na yung storyline na ganun ha?!
Ok kung sa ok yung film. But sa ending, its like a train na pabilis na ng pabilis, humaharurot na and then biglang tumigil. Yun ang naramdaman ko sa ending. Pwede namang hindi ganon ka-tragic yung ending ah, ba't ganon ang ginawa nilang ending? Waaahhh!!
But still, bibilhin ko pa rin ang original VCD (or DVD if I can afford it) pag na-release ito. Because of its story and cast. And of course, I'll post the special video scenes.
Movie Rating: 4 out of 5
