Overtime
Jody (Lauren Young) is the sole breadwinner of her family. She works for a large pharmaceutical company that’s just been accused of illegal human testing. Jody has been tasked with putting a major press conference where the company will deny these claims. Stressed out, she decides to blow off some steam by finally meeting up with a guy she’s been chatting with online. She and Dom (Richard Gutierrez) hit it off, and decide to spend the night together at a hotel. Jody wakes up drugged, however, with a bomb strapped to her torso. Dom tells Jody to set off the bomb at the press conference, or harm will come to her family.

Brilliant and touching
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
There are a lot of things going for Overtime — Wincy Aquino Ong's 'big pharma is bad'-commentary slapstick-actioner — although a lot of things also aren't.Firstly, it is genre-bending; rarely is it that we see an awkward tech-whiz (whom we meet no earlier than halfway through the film) not only get to emerge as hero, but also get the Final Girl. Bearwin Meily — who ably portrays the role of the unlikely hero (and apparently avid Greenhills shopper) — is a pivotal element to the eccentric conceits of the film. But to weigh in crank in the film is a moot task, given Ong's previous effort San Lazaro, a film about fanaticism and the occult, can only handle so much cray from the respective roles of Bianca King and Ramon Bautista.With this, we are left with a social commentary that does not engross beyond its extremest potential and principal characters that are essentially underwritten cut-outs: from a dumbed-down graveyard-shift worker (Lauren Young) to a handsome neurotic (Richard Gutierrez, turning in a performance reminiscent to Aga Muhlach in Rory B. Quintos' Sa Aking Mga Kamay).Ultimately, it is Ong's pursuit to bring mainstream leagues something fresh that elevates his film; and what he has arrived here with — at best — is a fine, admission-worthy consumable pulp.
