Tagalog language action-thrillers have been making somewhat of a mark in recent years (Maria, BuyBust, Metro Manila and On the Job come to mind), so the following news is definitely a welcome addition to City on Fire:
Dark Star Pictures and Uncork’d Entertainment have announced the release of Ben Rekhi’s Watch List, which arrives in virtual theaters August 21 before an On Demand release September 1.
Watch List is set against the drug wars in the Philippines. After her husband is murdered under mysterious circumstances, Maria is left to fend for her three children in a police state. As she delves into Manila’s dark underworld of cops, criminals, and drugs to find answers, she realizes the truth is never black and white, and that she must explore her own darkness to keep her family safe.
Watch List stars Arthur Acuña, Alessandra de Rossi and Jake Macapagal. Don’t miss the film’s Trailer below:
