Synopsis
Citizen Jake is the story of Jake Herrera, journalist and estranged son of a powerful Philippine Senator. More than anything, he wants to prove he is not like his father. This has been the motivation for most of his adult life’s decisions, from career choice to his attempt to build a life for himself far away, in Baguio. But circumstances force him to try to solve the brutal murder of a young, female student from the university he teaches in. The investigation brings him on a path to encounter corruption and to finally face his own demons.

    Citizen Jake is one of the films I'm so hyped to watch this year. It wasn't the best, but you will appreciate the not so subtle references about Philippine politics. Which I love! Facts are facts. No offense to Atom Araullo, but they should've chosen more seasoned actor for the lead role instead. He's okay, but the character demands emotions which I can't find on him. Minus the side story about his Mom and making it much darker, literally and figuratively, will make this movie great.

    The film's allusions to the country's prevailing societal and political norms are raw and honest. Brilliant cast and direction. A must see!
