Graceland - Drafthouse Films - Blu-ray and DVD Directed by: Ron Morales Cast: Arnold Reyes, Menggie Cobarrubias, Dido Dela Paz,Leon Miguel, Marife Necisito. Full cast + crew Graceland is like the art-house version of Taken. Instead of having an ex-cia badass tearing through a foreign city to look for his kidnapped daughter who is about to be forced into prostitution, we've got a politician's poorly paid driver who goes on a mission through hell after his daughter is accidentally kidnapped in place of the politician's daughter. That's about where the similarities end, though. I just wanted to get the attention of anyone who otherwise may not pay attention to a Filipino thriller. Graceland is a dark, unflinching movie about the limits...

Welcome back to a slightly revamped version of This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Graceland Marlon Villar (Arnold Reyes) is chauffeur to Manuel Chango (Menggie Cobarrubias), a salaciously corrupt politician in the Philippines who expects obedience and loyalty regardless of his actions. The two men have daughters the same age, and one day while Marlon drives the girls to school they’re stopped in an attempt to kidnap the politician’s daughter. Things go terribly awry, and the confused kidnappers take Marlon’s daughter instead having mistaken her for Chango’s child. Now Marlon’s only hope is for the politician to pay the ransom in the belief that his daughter is in peril, but maintaining the lie may lead to an even bigger tragedy. Writer/director Ron Morales‘ fast-moving and vicious little film is a fantastically economical thriller that wastes no time diving...

It's a trickier process than it might seem, creating a sympathetic character whose world is imploding, mapping his internal anguish while illustrating all he's up against. Striking the right balance between interior and exterior can mean the difference between compelling drama and accidental melodrama. Writer-director Ron Morales just misses equilibrium in the visually arresting Filipino thriller Graceland. When saintly chauffeur Marlon Villar (Arnold Reyes)—devoted father, husband to a deathly ill wife—is ensnared in the bungled kidnapping of the daughter of Manuel Chango (Menggie Cobarrubias,) the pedophilic politician for whom he works, he finds himself in a race to save his own daughter even as his credibility is called into question. Good and evil are broadly sk...

The story of a man fighting for his loved ones, doing whatever it takes to better their lives or to save them from the peril they’re in, is far from revolutionary in film. In fact, some variation of that tale is at the core of almost any story. After all, what serves as a greater motivator than love? With Graceland, writer/director Ron Morales takes that story but puts a very dark and very haunting spin on it.
Arnold Reyes stars as Marlon, the driver/assistant to a powerful and corrupt congressman, Chango (Menggie Cobarrubias), who frequently solicits underage prostitutes. Marlon, though disgusted, goes along with Chango’s scummy behavior since he has little in the way of other options. Between a sick wife and a daughter he has to support, he’s barely getting by, and unemployment isn’t an option. When his daughter and the congressman’s daughter are kidnapped,...

Ron Morales’ nifty second feature Graceland centers on Marlon Villar (Arnold Reyes), driver to corrupt senator Manuel Chango (Menggie Cobarrubias). The senator’s a pedophile with a penchant for underage hookers; Marlon — struggling to raise funds for an organ transplant for his ill wife — turns a blind eye. The two men’s daughters are friends, but when Marlon’s child is mistaken for the senator’s during a kidnapping, he has to lie his way into making sure the senator puts up the ransom funds. Running around Manila at the child-snatchers’ behest, Marlon and Morales take in a broad swath of pungent …...

Moral ambiguity ties into a world seemingly devoid of innocence in Ron Morales' Graceland, the latest film acquired and distributed by Drafthouse Films. A tightly-wound kidnapping thriller set in the overly corrupt Philippines, Graceland strikes a spark early on and never seems interested in dousing the flames until all of Morales' characters are burned, even if just a little. The screenplay adds new elements and interesting facets to the familiar sub-genre, and Morales' direction drives the point home even harder. For all that it has to say, Graceland is a bit hard to watch, but its message deserves to be a bitter pill to swallow. That bitter pill is noticed early, when Marlon (Arnold Reyes), a chauffeur to a corrupt politician, has to drive his boss' latest conquest home from a night of debauchery. The "conquest" is a 14-year-old girl, and instantly, the whole world within which Morales' story unfolds becomes a giant,...

Filipino crime thriller "Graceland," follows the worst day in a chauffeur's life: when both his daughter and the daughter of his corrupt politician boss get ambushed in a kidnapping. Shot guerrilla-style in just 17 days on location in the Philippines with no permits, writer-director Ron Morales and his crew pulled off quite the feat. The Drafthouse Films release is currently available on VOD and opens theatrically on April 26. Below, Morales shares a scene shot on the fly when they stumbled upon an alley where men conducted spider fights (!). He also shares some general advice for filmmakers on how to shoot in a foreign location. You never know what you might find in a labyrinth of alleyways. The producers Sam Rider and Rebecca Lundgren found these spider fighters while scouting for locations while I was casting. They called me up telling me all about it, from the fighting rules to how the take care of them.

The value of a really good story hook can never be overstated, but it’s become fairly uncommon these days to find a film that has one. The odds decrease even more when it comes to movies with a fantastic premise and a successful execution of that idea. Ron Morales‘ second feature, Graceland, manages to do both. Marlon Villar (Arnold Reyes) is low level driver for a sordid congressman, and while he hates what the elected official does with his free time, he needs the paycheck to help raise his own daughter Elvie. He drives the congressman’s daughter to school every day and makes a habit of bringing Elvie along for the ride, but when a routine traffic stop turns into a botched kidnapping, his life is thrown into immediate turmoil. The captors have mistaken Elvie for the politician’s daughter and are now demanding a hefty ransom. The immoral congressman won’t pay if he...

Graceland
Written by Ron Morales
Directed by Ron Morales
Philippines/USA, 2012
Graceland, the new film from the Philippines’ Ron Morales, contains so much corruption and suffering that viewers will be forgiven for thinking at first that they’ve wandered into an Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu film. However, Graceland is helped by the fact that it gets in and out in a brisk 83 minutes, about half of the time of a misery-palooza such as Babel. That’s all which is needed to change a film’s delivery from “wallowing” to “riveting.”
Arnold Reyes is fantastic as Marlon Villar, a driver for a Filipino congressman who becomes entangled in a kidnapping plot. To go much further into the film’s plot would involve spoiling events which are better experienced than read; it suffices to say that Reyes captures perfectly the balance of being at the mercy of fate while blaming himself for his misfortune at the same time.

It will be available on VOD on March, 28 and will have its theatrical release on April, 26.

A dingy journey through the Filipino underworld, "Graceland" is a kidnapping thriller from director Ron Morales that is dark both on the surface and at its heart. From the moment the kidnapping begins, Marlon, who was already in a tight spot to begin with, is put through the ringer, suspected by the cops of being involved with the kidnappers, terrified for the life of his own kidnapped daughter, and determined to keep the news from his ailing wife. With every phone call from the kidnappers, who stay at least one step ahead of the borderline corrupt police, Marlon's situation gets more and more desperate and the darkness in everyone around him comes rushing to the surface. Don't expect any sort of revenge fantasy-fulfillment like we saw in Tony Scott's "Man on Fire", either. It's clear from the early scenes that no matter how things get resolved, it will mostly be bad for all involved.

Fantastic Fest is truly a unique event. There’s plenty of room for arthouse films and, on some occasions, the big awards players, but one theater that hosts There Will Be Blood might, the next night, see the premiere of something you’d catch on a weird cable station at 3 A.M. You don’t get that at Venice.
Such a programming mentality is reflected in the second set of titles: We have Leos Carax‘s acclaimed Holy Motors, Rian Johnson‘s Looper, horror anthology The ABCs of Death (as if it could premiere anywhere else), Sinister, and a whole batch of films I’d never heard of up until now. It’s wonderfully eclectic, and it only makes me wish I could be there come late September.

Title: Graceland Director: Ron Morales Cast: Arnold Reyes, Menggie Cobarrubias and Dido De La Paz It seems like crime, corruption and politicians go hand in hand. The idea that you are above the law is tempting to anyone who has a seat of power and authority, which is probably why it’s never shocking to hear news of a politician in trouble with the law. In the new film from filmmaker Ron Morales, “Graceland,” he explores what any man will do when his family is threatened, by severing all loyalties to protect your loved ones. “Graceland” follows the story of Marlon (Arnold Reyes), the assistant to local Congressman Manuel Chango (Menggie [ Read More ]...

Mild-mannered husband and father Marlon Villar is just having one of those days. The boss is on his case. His wife is being needy. His daughter is acting up. The cops are bugging him. “Graceland” begins as a compendium of what some adults would call a terrible, horrible, very bad, no good day. Wah wah.
If only it were that easy. His boss is sniveling, corrupt politico Manuel Chango, a man who demands that his underlings clean up his messes. Said messes usually involve underage prostitutes from the local sex-trafficking trade, some of whom don’t survive the night. Chango pays Marlon to act as his chauffeur, with the expectation that he act as garbage man for Chango’s grotesque excess. No, he doesn’t really care that Marlon’s wife is sick and bed-ridden.
Marlon eventually makes the mistake of bringing his home life into his work life. Tasked...

Graceland
Written by Ron Morales
Directed by Ron Morales
Philippines/USA, 2012
Graceland, the new film from the Philippines’ Ron Morales, contains so much corruption and suffering that viewers will be forgiven for thinking at first that they’ve wandered into an Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu film. However, Graceland is helped by the fact that it gets in and out in a brisk 83 minutes, about half of the time of a misery-palooza such as Babel. That’s all which is needed to change a film’s delivery from “wallowing” to “riveting.”
Arnold Reyes is fantastic as Marlon Villar, a driver for a Filipino congressman who becomes entangled in a kidnapping plot. To go much further into the film’s plot would involve spoiling events which are better experienced than read; it suffices to say that Reyes captures perfectly the balance of being at the mercy of fate while blaming himself for his misfortune at the same time.

Tribeca: Tell us a little about Graceland. How would you describe the movie? Ron Morales: I can give a very brief description of Graceland. It's a kidnapping drama that leaves no one innocent. Tribeca: Graceland is a disturbing and complex thriller that stays with you long after you've left the theater. What inspired you to tell this story? Ron Morales: Kidnapping and prostitution are big business, not just in the Philippines, but all over the world. Prostitution is a very visual industry in Manila. Red lights and all that are everywhere. As far as kidnapping, it's a pretty common phenomenon for all social classes. Originally, I was writing a movie about sex workers in the Philippines. When I was researching these women, I knew something had to be done. After listening to their recordings, I had to tell their story or highlight it somehow. Long story short, we...

Title: Santa Mesa Director: Ron Morales (2012′s ‘Graceland’) Starring: Jacob Kiron Shalov (TV’s ‘The Knights of Prosperity’), Jaime Tirelli (‘Carlito’s Way,’ TV’s ‘You Don’t Know Jack’) and Melissa Leo People often tend to try and classify themselves as being from one particular culture and having one heritage, but that has become increasingly difficult as people in recent years have progressively moved from country to country. The tendency to categorize people culturally and racially is the major conflict in writer-director Ron Morales’ feature film debut, ‘Santa Mesa.’ This trend, and the inability to cope with one’s new society, are the major problems plaguing the drama’s main character, Hector. ‘Santa Mesa’ follows...
