Pinoy action star Cesar Montano is back with “HITMAN” – a film he produced, wrote, directed, and starred in.
The movie is co-produced with Viva Films, and also stars Sam Pinto as his leading lady, Ricky Davao, Mark Herras, his son Diego Loyzaga Montano, Joko Diaz, Rommel Montano, Jeffrey Tam, Sunshine Garcia, Onchie dela Cruz and Alexis Navarro.
Cesar Montano has been hands-on with the “Hitman” project since inception. It was a movie he believed that could help bring back the popularity of the action genre in Philippine Cinema. According to Cesar Montano, “Hitman” is also a movie he consciously helmed to stray away from the formulaic Pinoy action flicks we were used to watching in the past years.
Inspired by the Hollywood movie “Collateral” which starred Tom Cruise, Cesar Montano said of the film, “Hard action na hard action pero yung story hindi pa napapanuod sa Philippine cinema. Ang mga Filipino audience hindi na basta-basta nanunuod ng puro action. Importante yung story.”
HITMAN Movie Synopsis:
When Gina (Sam Pinto), a popular print model, met Ben (Cesar Montano), a guy with an arresting smile and a good sense of humor, she thought she found the perfect guy that will love her for real. Gina met Ben in a coffee shop. Ben bought Gina a cup of coffee after her drink accidentally spilled because of him. Because of Ben’s charm, they easily got along and Gina silently wished they could see each other again that night.
At the bar that same night, Gina and Ben bumped into each other. This time, she fell for him. She was captivated by Ben’s allure and she gave her whole self to him. They made love. But then it’s already too late when she discovered Ben’s true character, and his real motive. To Gina’s surprise, Ben was actually a hitman and he intended to kill her. That their first meeting did not happen by chance. Ben is out to seek justice and avenge the death of his wife and son at the hands of Gina’s father, Mando, his former boss who had ordered to kill him because he already knew too many.
Ben survived after he was left “dead” by Tom, Mando’s “cleaner”. Now he’s back and he wanted to settle the score by killing both father and daughter. Ben had a sudden change of heart after making love to Gina. He decided to kill Mando before taking down Gina. But Tom, who has an axe to grind, went ahead of Ben and killed Mando first. Even worse, when Ben went back to look for Gina, she had already been abducted by Tom.
Ben ran after Tom to get Gina. And after finishing Tom, he tried to kill Gina, too. But Gina knew too well that Ben couldn’t do it to her after that fateful day when they first met. Gina knew that Ben came for Gina not because of revenge, but because just like her, he had already fallen in love with her.
