Bomba Arienda

Based on the life of Roger "Bomba" Arienda, the film tackles his life pre-martial law and imprisonment during the Marcos regime.

Ace Vergel with his action star swagger stars as the title character while Coney Reyes plays his wife. The story laid out chronologically starts strong with early interest on his no holds barred commentary and personal struggle with guns, alcohol and extra marital affairs. His life takes a turn when imprisoned and here his political and religious beliefs were in focus such as his deteriorating family waiting for his release.

The biopic had great atmosphere of the political situation but doesn't go hard on his supposed opinions of government. Anything else, is just the typical drama surrounding political prisoners and their each self discovery.
