Reception
Jio de Leon wrote that the film was "an all-star Expendables-type film before Stallone even made that a thing. It's a Filipino version of a Western, where seven cowboy-type dudes work together to find a treasure" admitting that "it tread[ed] the same water as Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai or more specifically The Magnificent Seven (a remake of the Kurosawa film in itself)."[3]
