Daniel Bartolo ng Sapang Bato (1982) Online

A man with a shady past, take matters to his own hands to settle a score when pushed to his limits.

Daniel Bartolo (FPJ) is living a quiet life with his wife in which according to him, he has neglected for a long time. This peaceful living though is disturbed by an old man from a nearby town seeking help from Bartolo. His granddaughter has been taken by the plantation owner's son and to his distress wields power in their small town. Bartolo respectfully declines and although torn chose to be with his wife. With a twist of fate, the same old man dies with a last wish to have her grand daughter returned safely. Taking up the responsibility, Bartolo confronts the plantation owner and his henchmen. From this confrontation the story develops and delve into the human emotion.

Not enough drama and not enough action, this film is a light revenge flick that really does not give justice to the rough and gritty performance from FPJ. It features a cast of characters stereotyped throughout cinema history.

This is the first time that I have completely watched in full an FPJ movie. For those who doesn't know who he is. He happens to be "The King" of Philippine Cinema particularly action movies. It is about time to watch his movies albeit late and out dated and so should you.
