Movie Review: One More Try



The movie tells story of a woman (Angel Locsin) who is willing to do anything to extend the life of his son. It comes to a point that the son needs the help of his father (Dingdong) who is married already to another girl (Angelica). The woman not only needs financial support, she needs more than that .The wife of the father wont allow to give the other needs of the woman and the conflict of the movie starts there.

Well what I can say about the movie is, it is very well made sexy drama heartwarming family movie. Madami dami din mga scenes na naiyak ako at talagang na touch sa mga ekena kasi tinuntumbok ng pelikulang
  ito ang pinakamakahaga sa buhay ng tao and relasyon at pamilya. I like the way how the story was made first of all it is something new na ngayon lang 
natackle ang ganitong story, 2nd yung character ng mga bida lahat naipakita sa pelikula like yung character ni Angelica kung bakit siya ganoon ka possessive sa asawa niya kasi may malalim pala siya na pinagdaanan noong bata pa siya and lastly the conflicts of the movie that add spice sa pelikula.

Napakahusay ng pagkakagawa ng screenplay ng pelikulang ito. It is fast paced at talagang bawat eksena hindi mo pwedeng palampasin. Hindi ako nainip sa panonood ko nito. Napakaraming confrontation scenes dito na talaga naming napakahusay ng pagkakagawa at tatatak ang mga dialogue, like yung confrontation scene nina Angelica at Angel sa restaurant w/ Carmina and yung kay Angelica at Dingdong sa hospital and ofcourse yung fight scene ni Angelica at Angel sa kalsada at marami pang iba. Grabe ang galing talaga at napakahusay ng screenplay nito. I want also to commend the film for its braveness to do a certain scene that happened in a hotel between Angelica Dingdong and Angel. Nagawa at na execute nila ang eksenang iyon na hindi baboy ang dating at talagang napakastrong ng scene na iyon for it to be shown in public and in a mainstream movie.

For the acting sa lahat ng bida, nagawa  nila ng maayos ang character na hinihingi ng pelikula. Carmina VIllaroel is a surprise for me I did not expect na ganun ang character niya at mahusay niyang nagampanan ang role at may laban siya as Best Supporting Actress. Zanjoe Marudo is good yung underdog acting niya at subtle acting niya na di OA it is very effective, I am happy that he accepts this project na something new for him same with Dingdong Dantes na dito lumabas ang galing din niya bilang isang actor at ito na ang pinaka dekalidad na proyekto na nagawa niya. For Angel Locsin mahusay din ang pag ganap at talagang naapektuhan din ako sa mga eksena niya. And for Angelica Panganiban well what can I say napakahusay niya sa naipakita niyang variation of acting dito, na mabait siya kontrabida salbahe then back to mabait. But I like her character here kasi may pinanggalingan why she  is reacting that way lahat ng insecurities niya at naramdaman ko yun dahil sa galing niyang umarte she makes me believe of her character. For me mas nahusayan akong umarte kay Angelica rito over Angel.

All in all the movie is worth watching for especially for the mature audience that can appreciate the film cause it tackles a sensitive topic that is not usually shown in a movie.

My Verdict: 4.5/5

  2. my review: mkha ngang kinopya ang pinaka plot about bone marrow thing at four character pero i doubt na kaparehas na kaparehas kasi ang copy right law is an international law.. kya aun lng the movie is great

    angel locsin stood out! her acting craft improve faster than expected. nawala na yung clenching of teeth to the point na nakakain nya na yung words sa iba nyang movies tuwing nagdedeliver ng heavy lines.. she could have won the best actress kung di si Nora ang nakalaban nya(napanood ko din thy womb mas lamang si nora i think in terms of expressing through eyes) angel's silent moment is where she stood out nung umiyak sya nung nakakita ng dugo made the entire cinema where we watched the movie stops completly. yung sabunutan din nila ni angelica where angel acts like confuse on whether she will fightback or Run it look so convincing!

    dingdong deserved the best actor award he is good in showing acting skills that close on how in reality man react in such situation his unforgettable scene eh yung nag aaway sila ni angelica.. at nung nagkukwento how happy he was when he saw his son during his son's bday celebration

    zanjoe marudo magaling din sya pero im sorry pero natatawa ako sa acting nya para kasi ang awkward pero yung controlled acting nya habang nagdedeliver is script is what makes him good. memorable scene nya is when he tried to do a rough-sex to angel and delivered his line after as well as yun line na sinabi nya nung bumalik si angel " ikaw lang nman ung nawala eh., ako.. naghihintay lng." grabe yun!

    Angelica panganiban she's good but not most of the time di pla bagay sa kanya yung sosyal at nag eenglish her portrayal i find it unconvincing kasi may mga part na parang ninanarate nya lng ung line nya pero one thing that i commend to her is her facial expression it was perfect for me yung delivery lng ng line makes it looks weird i guess? ung expression nya ng anger habang bumababa ng elevator papntang parking lot as well as ung shifting ng galit sa awa after nya awayin si angel is priceless

    kung kinopya man ang plot ng movie sa "in love we trust" ng ibang bansa eh wla na tayo magagawa dun di din nmn kasalanan ng direktor o ng artista yun eh pero di lng ako naniniwala na 100% kinopya kc ung character nila napaka pinoy eh at yung importansya ng pamilya eh naemphasize.. napaka pinoy at ang script din ng one more try eh napaka ganda at makatotohanan lalo na ang pag portray ng mga artista.. kung may ayaw lng ako sa movie eh yung last part i find it quite ironic and weird yung ganung set up ng pag celebrate ng xmas. the movie deserved the best picture 1. dhil sa galling at pantay pantay na distribusyon ng highlight sa artista 2. story(yung touch ng pagiging pinoy di yung about bone marrow thing na kinopya lng tulad ng sabi ng iba) 3. lead characters kasi nabigyan nila ng buhay ang character nila 3. editing at yung flow ng story from intense to very intense to breakdown at pag kalma ng lahat yun lng

    1. I agree if ever uso naman ngayon na may pegs sa mga movie hindi naman exactly ginaya parang pinagbasehan lang ng story line dahil nagawan naman ng direktor gawan ng pinoy element. I think yung mga nagkakalat at nagsasabi na kinopya itong pelikulang ito ay mga inggit lang dahil One More Try is a huge success!!!!!!
