Ang Utol Kong Hoodlum (1991)
Behind his bad boy image, Ben (Robin Padilla) has a big heart. The modern day Robinhood collects grease money from jeepney drivers on behalf of the syndicate. He gets a meager amount in return which he uses to feed his adoptive parents whom he loves dearly. One day his boss Salazar (Mark Gil) proposes that he kidnap children who come from wealthy families. The offer would be financially rewarding, but Ben refuses it. Because Salazar is desperate, he kidnaps Ben's loved ones and the only way to redeem them is by abducting Bing (Vina Morales) and her brother.

Good idea lost in the noise
Don't listen to the negative reviews
There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Ang utol kong hoodlum carries the signature "barumbadong maginoo" persona of Robin Padilla with their first tandem with Vina Morales. Vina Morales is so beautiful in this film that you would love her while she delivers her lines well to complement Robin Padillas "emotion-filled" acting. Dennis Padilla who is the sidekick provided the humour to the film.
