Mahjong Nights (2021)
Directed by: Lawrence Fajardo
Dalawang klaseng manlalaro
ang nasa pelikulang ito.
Yung nakikipaglaro ng Mahjong.
At yung nakikipaglaro sa kapwa tao.
Kanino ka pupusta ?
Mabilis makagaanan ng luob sina Mickey Ferriols, Liz Alindogan at Arnell Ignacio. Magaling silang magdala ng eksena. Natural ang batuhan ng mga linya. Nakakatuwa ang mga chikahan nila.
May potensyal si Angeli Khang sa pag-arte. Ngunit hindi ito gaanong naipakita. Mas pinagtuunan nila ng pansin ang kanyang pagpapakita ng katawan.
Sean de Guzman didn’t have much to contribute aside from his sex scenes. Jamilla Obispo lacks conviction and credibility for her role.
Jay Manalo delivered above all the characters. He can instill fear and command respect. His presence is intimidating.
The first half of the movie had a good flow wherein you’d gradually meet each of the characters. The cinematography is decent. The atmosphere is inviting.
You are welcome to join their Mahjong club.
Arnell Ignacio constantly lifts the mood everytime it falters. He randomly chimes in with his banters, making funny moments. It was good while it lasted.
On the latter part of the movie, the scenes had nowhere to go. Things happen out of thin air. Conversations are abrupt. Characters have no deeper sense of purpose. The screenplay is weak enough to let the story go sideways.
The ending exists because there’s nothing more to show. Wala na silang maipakita, kaya tinapos na lang nila.
Sayang ang mga nasimulang isyu at hindi pinagtuunan ng pansin. Sayang ang husay ng iilang mga artista.
Sayang ang larong “Mahjong” dahil hindi nila ito napaglaruan para sa ikagaganda ng istorya.
Mahjong Nights turned out to be one of those forgettable nights.
