Crime

Set against the backdrop of the Philippines Government’s crackdown on illegal drugs, a SWAT-led police force launches an operation to arrest Abel, one of the biggest druglords in Manilla. Police Officer Espino and Elijah, a small-time pusher turned informant, provide the intelligence for the operation which quickly escalates into a violent and heavely-armed confrontation in the slums between the SWAT and Abel’s gang. Before the investigators arrive at the crime scene, Espino and Elijah walk off with Abel’s backpack full of money and methamphetamine.

Brillante Mendoza's objective is to shine a light on the problem currently gripping his country - a leader out of control, willing to stop at nothing to achieve his mission. By its conclusion, it's clear he also doesn't believe this is the way forward, and that thousands of deaths won't change the situation. While there are some problems with the script's pacing and assumed knowledge, 'Alpha: The Right to Kill' is using its craft to send a very specific message - making this one of the most important films you could currently take in.
