Graceland is a tense, twisty cinematic artichoke brimming with moral complexity and intriguing shades of gray.
Morales’ spin on the old ransom plot is fresher and more gripping than most big-budget Hollywood products.
It’s a dark, grim, suffocating story that only missteps by overplaying its hand, making the larger message about prostitution increasingly overt.
The spare, tightly wound narrative ultimately turns on the hard-eyed, relentless efficacy of the plot, as well as the certainty of Reyes’ performance.
Morales trafficks in familiar formulas of an everyman in a bind with evil men. What sets Graceland apart are the conflicted values of its characters.
For all the alleged ethical complexity in this thriller’s noirish narrative, everything’s a little too neat here.
Striking the right balance between interior and exterior can mean the difference between compelling drama and accidental melodrama. Writer-director Ron Morales just misses equilibrium in the visually arresting Filipino thriller Graceland.
