"A harrowing but ultimately empty indie political thriller about Muslim terrorists."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

2/4
"The film suggests Jennifer Connelly's snorri-cam puke scene from Requiem for a Dream stretched out to 80 minutes."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

3/5
"Story of a young Filipino-American who returns to the Philippines and becomes the pawn of Muslim terrorist with a malevolent plan for him to execute."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/4
"Cavite...will probably be cited in years to come as a classic example of the post-9/11 action thriller"  Perihelion Journal  Jay Antani

5/10
"...there's...a certain unseemliness to the endeavor that is difficult to dismiss."  All Movie Guide  Josh Ralske

3/4
"It's easy to envision the big-budget remake, but hard to imagine a mainstream American production capturing the original's sour, sweaty immediacy."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

8/10
"A thrilling get-acquainted tour of a side of the Philippines most never see."  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson
