Jet Pangan and JB Leonor were marvelous and Francis Reyes provides comic relief at times and proved to be the most desirable character in the movie! especially toward the ala- crossroads duel towards the end.
This film takes you back to the new wave era and just wants you to reminisce of the old days. For the band junkies out there this film is a must watch! one hell of a soundtrack too! Enveloped Ideas anyone?!
