hehehe... he's really a good actor...labi na sa masahista
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU2PblSW_fA‘Masahista’ generally is a ‘quiet’ film despite its risqué topic, with moans, grief, and lotion slick as the sounds that reverberate in its 80-minute run. Transferred to a 35mm frame from a digital medium, the film has a somber mood to it owing perhaps to the topic at hand: abject poverty that has driven a 20ish boy to take on a job as a masseur in Manila servicing some clientele. Aptly called “Club Maharlika,” (“maharlika” means “a free man”, by the way, and I hope the comparison is not lost to audiences) the parlor is home to several brawny masseurs from Pampanga and Cebu who have their own reasons for doing the job.
The challenge for (poor) Coco Martin is that he should prove that he’s not another pretty face, and must do everything to move on to better projects less he suffer the fate of some of his costars –Paolo Rivero, for example – whose careers ended long before they even started. With pretty faces becoming dime-a-dozen these days but without enough exciting projects to work on, new and young actors will increasingly become prey to the sex(y) film genre: the classic fallback when all the rest of the Philippine film industry fails. It’s a sad truth with miles of reels as proof.
