- Dante Basco’s directorial debut humanizes four Filipino American men, but its distinctly male perspective prevents that same courtesy from being extended to women. finds its ultimate downfall, however, over the nuts and bolts of storytelling: Scripting, tone, and pacing all flounder, leaving the viewer with very little to hold onto—besides a vague craving for adobo, perhaps—as the credits roll.

Then with Avatar: The Last Airbender, he brought a gravelly voice and gravitas to the redemption-chasing Prince Zuko.
