What happens

Lost Command is a 1988 Filipino action film directed by Ben "M7" Yalung, written by Tony A. Calvento, and starring Ramon 'Bong' Revilla Jr., Paquito Diaz, Lala Montelibano, Jenny Lyn, Dave Brodett, Baldo Marro, Robert Talabis, Lolit Solis, King Gutierrez, E. R. Ejercito. Produced by Cine Suerte, the film was released in May 1988. Critic Lav Diaz gave Lost Command a mildly positive review, expressing that the film largely worked as a vehicle for budding action star Revilla despite being hampered by overly poetic dialogue and incredulously bombastic action scenes. He also gave high praise to the "natural" performance of child actor Billy Crawford. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
