Meanwhile, National Bureau of Investigation officer Francis Coronel, Jr. looks to raise his profile as an idealistic reformer.

Francis gains an unlikely associate in under-achieving police officer Joaquin Acosta, who has a personal stake in the case.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A botched rub-out sets up a chain of inter-connected events that may lead to the exposure of the contract killer's businesses, as the lives of the four men become embroiled in a tense cat-and-mouse game of secrets, intrigue, and betrayal.Needless to say, the film is exceedingly grim.A sequel, On The Job The Missing 8, was released in 2021.

Ambiguous Ending: It's unclear what exactly happens to Francis' cellphone with the incriminating recording, after being seized as evidence. The Stinger shows that Francis' rookie partner, played by Rayver Cruz, manages to get a hold of it. What he will do with it, though, remains unseen, so this could still qualify.
