Muslim.357

About This Movie

Muslim.357 is this gritty action flick from the mid-'80s that throws you right into the heart of Manila's underbelly. You’ve got Lt. Jamal, an undercover Muslim cop – his character brings a unique layer to the typical cop narrative. The pacing's interesting; it balances moments of tense action with the slower build of tension as he navigates the syndicate. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of danger, and the practical effects, especially during the firefights, have that raw, unrefined charm of the era. Performances are a mixed bag, but Jamal's portrayal has a certain intensity that keeps you engaged. It’s definitely a distinctive piece in the action genre for its cultural angle.

Interesting take on cop films.Unique cultural perspective.Raw practical effects add to the charm.
