General Luna
The story presents a vivid example of a series of events that speak of General Antonio Luna's brief command of the Philippine Revolutionary Army. In that period, this fighter decided to fight a strong war against everyone but he faced a tougher enemy than the US military in that period. It seems catastrophic because this fighter stood up to his treacherous citizens during the Philippine-American war.

"Heneral Luna" would never be mistaken for more serious-minded art-house material, but there are certainly less lively ways to be taught a history lesson.

Heneral Luna is a sturdy, stirring if perhaps sometimes simplistic historical epic about bravery and treachery in a country at war.

Anchored by a charismatic central performance by John Arcilla ("Metro Manila") and peppered with exciting action sequences, the pic has the all-around energy to overcome the odd moment of bumpy storytelling and prosaic dialogue.
