Noel Juico, 16: Batang kriminal is one of those gritty films that draws you into the raw underbelly of youth crime. Raymart Santiago delivers a compelling performance as the young delinquent, navigating the murky waters of a police precinct. The film's pacing keeps you on edge, as each scene unfolds with a sense of urgency. It’s fascinating how it explores themes of corruption and moral ambiguity—this isn’t just another action flick, it digs deeper. The atmosphere feels almost claustrophobic at times, reflecting the protagonist’s struggles. The practical effects, while not the focus, lend a certain reality to the brawls and skirmishes. Overall, it’s a unique snapshot of a troubled youth’s world, which isn’t often depicted with such honesty in Filipino cinema.
