The Gist: Crisanto is an ex-cop who had been assigned by the pnp head to eliminate the crooked cops who are primary suspects of a violent bank robbery.
My Say: The janitor is a very intelligent action film. It contains a lot of metaphors and irony. An example of this is the brutal and effective nature of the hero as a hit man which contrasts his meek and submissive nature at work and at home. The action is also top notch. It makes up for its lack of explosions, car chases and cheesy lines by upping the ante on the violence. The ending is top notch, This movie is an effective commentary on our flawed justice system where everyone ends up as victims. If all the cinemalaya movies for this year is as good as this one, it will be a very good year for local cinema.
