Topakk: The Action Film Everyone’s Talking About


By Boy Romero 

Have you heard about Topakk? If not, you’re in for a treat. This Pinoy action thriller has already wowed local influencers, and now it’s making its way to the 2024 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF). Produced by Nathan Studios, Fusee, and Strawdogs, Topakk is a must-see masterpiece you don’t wanna miss this Christmas.

Directed by Richard V. Somes, Topakk follows a former special forces operative struggling with PTSD, whose life collides with a brother and sister on the run from dangerous criminals. The film packs a punch with its raw, intense action sequences, while also diving into deeper themes like mental health, redemption, and corruption. It’s the kind of film that keeps you on the edge of your seat but also makes you think long after the credits roll.

Arjo Atayde? He’s phenomenal. His performance has already earned him major praise and a lot of buzz, with many calling it one of his career-best roles. This could potentially add to his already jam-packed resume of recognitions, which include numerous prestigious awards. And Julia Montes? She steps into an action-packed role that shows off her range, giving fans a side of her we’ve never seen before.

The cinematography by Louie Quirino is stunning, adding to the film’s gripping atmosphere. Combine that with Jose Antonio Buencamino’s powerful score, and you’ve got a movie that hits all the right notes—action, drama, and heart.

What makes Topakk even more exciting is how it’s a showcase of Filipino talent. The production quality is top-notch, and it proves that Filipino filmmakers are more than capable of creating films that stand out internationally.

And let’s not forget—Topakk is joining the 2024 Metro Manila Film Festival lineup, which had a record-breaking box office in 2023. That alone says a lot about how much excitement surrounds this year’s festival. With influencers who’ve seen the film early already calling it one of the most exciting releases of the year, you won’t want to miss this on the big screen this December!

Topakk marks the return of the kind of action films that were once central to film culture—full of raw intensity and powerful performances.
