The movie tackles extra-judicial killing. However, it can;t be considered an attack to the present administration since the movie was made last year. The movie was submitted to last year's Metro Manila Film Festival but it failed to make the cut. This year, when selection criteria are revised, Kabisera makes the list.

The only conspicuously good thing that I can mention about the movie is the praiseworthy ensemble acting, with special mention to Nora Aunor. Well, it's been said that you can rely on Nora Aunor's capabilities as actress even in mediocre films. I agree. In my opinion, the movie has some scenes that need to be cut. At the same time, there are scenes that I find wanting. The script is flawed. But despite these shortcomings, the film has still managed to convey its point.
Rating: 2.5/4.0
