Have fun, see ‘Gangster Lolo’

LEO MARTINEZ in ‘Gangster Lolo’

“Gangster Lolo” is one movie you must not miss because it is guaranteed to keep you laughing from beginning to end. It also offers a moral lesson: Crime does not pay.

During its premiere presentation at SM City North Edsa recently, its director, William Mayo, arrived in a wheelchair. He was undergoing treatment at the time but it only shows how passionate he is with his work.

The movie stars Leo Martinez, Rez Cortez, Soxie Topacio, Pen Medina as the Gangster Lolo(s).

Having been recently freed from years of incarceration, the group is now trying to eke a better life for themselves, only that they’re having a hard time finding a job. Apparently, nobody wants to take a chance on them being ex-convicts. Their only hope is a treasure map, which they got from one of their co-inmates.

“Gangster Lolo” is fast-paced and quite fun. Watching Leo and Soxie do their thing is such a treat. Surprisingly, Rez and Pen, both known as serious actors specializing in drama and action, both did well as comedians.
