Engkwentro is gritty, straightforward, and downright shocking. It tells the story of two brothers who are pinned against each other in a clash of rival gangs and at the same time are being hunted down by the city death squad. Controversial in nature, the movie reveals the government-sponsored killings happening in the Philippines—something that grimly depicts the country’s suppressed political atmosphere of the 00s. Twenty-two-year-old auteur Pepe Diokno makes use of unconventional techniques, such as the handheld long take, to preserve a sense of reality making the truth more appalling as the film’s last minutes flicker on screen.
