A great way as we end Women's Month is show how powerful women can be and can par with men with the most nerve-wracking situations and tasks. Pedring Lopez's MARIA wants to prove that to the Pinoy movie goers. Starring Cristine Reyes, the movie is a revenge film of a former assassin that have embraced a new life got caught in the web of her former organization.
The film is something that wants to prove a lot of things. First, that women can also do hardcore action just like Anne Curtis in Buybust. Second, it redefines pinoy action not exclusive to be led by male protagonists but also by female actresses who can handle the very tough environment of high octane scenes. Finally it also aims to raise pinoy action to compete with international action films in Southeast Asia primarily.
