Graceland

This year’s sleeper hit comes by way of the Philippines, as we descend into the inner sanctum of corruption and lawlessness in the streets of Manila. Exploring the fine line between revenge and human depravity, "Graceland" is a slow-burning thriller that draws you in, sending chills down your spine. Marlon is Manuel Chango’s personal chauffer, a well-respected member of the Filipino Congress. But driving’s only part of it. Marlon is forced to help his boss with all kinds of dirty work and some of it involves underage girls. After a scandal breaks out in the local media, Chango fires Marlon, who - unable to maintain his sick wife and child - will do just about anything to stay afloat. When Chango’s daughter along with Marlon’s little girl are kidnapped by strangers, all eyes are on him when the ransom demands come in. K.Th.
