We learn that the director and the actor of the film Dennis Trillo, had a conversation with the real killers or hit-man which in turn made this film more realistic because it is from the mind of these kind of people. On the other hand they also interview ex-policemen or retired generals to note their insights and opinions in a certain situation.
"Yes I told Dennis na may kakausapin ako na mga ganitong tao, at buti nalang sinamahan nya ako, kasi honestly natakot din talaga ako, lalo pa't malaman namin nung pag-punta namin dun eh dalawa pala sila, so two-on-two kami" [Laughs] "hindi pero it turned out to be a very informative conversation and they are really friendly and cooperative."
"Ginawa namin tiong mga pag-susuriingn ito because we wanted to be truthful as possible not just to the subject matter but mostly in terms of the characters, gusto namin very grounded yung mga characters."
