From the director who brought us the entertaining Sa North Diversion Road, here comes again another engaging movie. Dennis Marasigan’s Tukso is a story about a village lass who one day wound up dead. Was it an accident? Or was she murdered? A female investigator looks into the case and a set of people close to or those that might have a knowledge of the incident were interviewed thus enabling the viewer to have a peek of their lives, their relationship with other people and of the lass.

There is a seeming parallel with the director’s two movies in the way the style is presented. In the Sa North Diversion Road, the same story is told again and again by the same characters but as different kinds of persons. In Tukso, the story is told by different people with different perspectives.

As for the cast? Well, I’m always thrilled to see Irma Adlawan in her top form again. Very talented, very Irma. Of course, there are also commendable performances by Sid Lucero, Ping Medina and Ricky Davao to cite a few.
