Maria
from Asian Action Cast Hosted by Asian Action Cast
Pedring Lopez’s 2019 Netflix action thriller, Maria, brings Filipino actress Cristine Reyes to the Streaming Screen as trained assassin MARIA! She thought she left that life behind, but the sins of the past never remain dead for long. Cristine Reyes proves she can be a strong, sexy lead with the physicality and agility to be a bona fide action hero, unfortunately Maria is held back by a derivative plot, pedestrian performances and inconsistent pacing. Despite the issues this movie does have its enjoyable moments and is in no way a disgrace to action films or Filipino cinema. It is a little piece of action junk food and clocks in at a very digestable 90 minutes, so why not? Can you feel sympathy for evil henchmen? What's the "proper" way to eat rice? Would you allow your child to sit in the middle seat of your car? How come everyone in this film is so damn attractive? Join us and find out.
