‘Expressway’
A syndicate old-timer named Ben (Alvin Anson) needs to do one last assignment before the boss he works for grants him his much delayed retirement. Assigned to be his partner is the neophyte Morris (Aljur Abrenica), a trigger-happy sadist who yearns to impress the boss. For Ben, this last assignment turns out to be a journey of introspection, self-healing and redemption. With this awakening, he takes it upon himself to pull Morris out of the eventual hell-of-a-life he says he has lived as a hitman.
Actors Alvin and Aljur talked about their passion for their characters and this film in a recent interview.
“Very personal kasi sa akin ‘tong movie because Direk Ato Bautista offered this film to the late Rudy Fernandez… I’m very close to Kuya Daboy [and] I’ve done a lot of films with him,” Alvin shared.
Aljur’s fans will see his daring side as he also takes part in a risqué scene in the film. Staying true to his craft, he goes deeper into his role. “Before I did this film, may konting background na ko sa pagiging isang killer,” he said. “Nag-research ako kung paano siya nasanay kasi wala naman pinanganak na ganun agad ‘yung kayang gawin.”
“Expressway” also stars RK Bagatsing, Kiko Matos, Inez Bernardo, Japo Parcero, Arpee Bautista and Jim Libiran.
