Since the turn of the millennium, notable genre movie releases from the Philippines are few and far in between. In recent years, the action genre became more prominent in local television as a supplement to daily soap operas that at times when action movies are made recently, they carry with them some of the tendencies of those tv dramas. Viva Films' latest offering, “Karma,” is a sample of those that exhibits this tendency.
In an unnamed rural region, a team of assassins roam around executing justice against the corrupt and the criminals. The most talented in the team, Angel (Rhen Escano) believes in the just cause of their dark existence. His partner Rommel (Sid Lucero), however, is starting to question their activities and gets more weary as days go by. Along with Keana (Krista Miller), the team answers to the commands of someone they refer to as Chief (Roi Vinzon), a friend of Angel's father.
