Rating: 3/4 -- Cavite...will probably be cited in years to come as a classic example of the post-9/11 action thriller Full Review

Rating: B+ -- One of those blistering no-budget thrillers, like Open Water or Detour, in which the film's economy of means is the trigger for its ingenuity.

Rating: 4/5 -- Though the film seldom deviates from its thriller format, Gamazon and Dela Llana astutely weave in matters of political, cultural and religious importance, elevating Cavite well above mere genre. Full Review

Rating: D- -- Arbitrarily arranged and awfully acted... proof positive that well-meaning creative wishes and savvy, low-fi merging of production means and narrative concept doesn't automatically produce heady results. Full Review

Product Description:

This tense, timely thriller follows Adam (Ian Gamazon, who also co-wrote and -directed with Neill Dela Llana), an American citizen who visits his native Philippines, a country he barely knows, for his father's funeral. On his way back to America, he receives a phone call from a member of an infamous and dangerous terrorist group, who tells him that he family has been kidnapped--and if he doesn't do exactly what they say, they will be killed.
