Partners in Crime
Cathy Garcia Molina
Vice Ganda, Ivana Alawi
Star Cinema.
Oceans 8 with a little bit of Knives Out, that is Partners in Crime. This is by far the most decent Vice Ganda movie compared to all his recent films in the past years. Director Cathy Garcia-Molina really did a splendid job for making a picture as good as their promotional materials, the official poster said so. Molina’s directing prowess can be seen throughout and I bet that Vice’s followers can easily determine how Partners in Crime was a set-apart from Vice Ganda’s filmography.
Ivana Alawi was a surprise, it was my first time seeing her act and I must say she effectively brought her character to life as Vice’s counterpart. Vice and Ivana both have that admirable sense of theatrics and bond that is entertaining enough to move the moviegoers and being a comedy film, Ivana didn’t find it hard to keep up with Vice’s humor which is great and just proves herself that she is a flexible amateur actress, she wasn’t left out with the comedic antics of her co stars who were all veterans when it comes to comedy.
Comparing this to Vice Ganda’s past movies such as The Revengers Squad, Fantastika, and The Mall, The Merrier. Partners in Crime delivered a more solid storytelling despite some weird production designs using chroma.
The brand of comedy used in this movie wasn’t a hit, maybe on a scale of 1 to 5 the level of laughter it gave was just a 2.
I think Vice needs new materials for his next movies, probably a dark comedy ala Die Beautiful or a comedy family drama that has a concrete storyline.
Rating:2/5
