  1. 10000 hours review:
    Overall, the casts, even the ones with minor roles, have played their part well. There were some scenes that looked amateurish but the coherence of the story is solid. The twist in the end, while not original, is p(removed)able. Compared to other local films being produced 10,000 Hours is arguably one of the best.
