Afuang: Bounty Hunter is a 1988 Philippine biographical action film directed by Mike Relon Makiling. The film stars Phillip Salvador in the title role. The film is based on the life of Abner Afuang, a former police officer who was a Pagsanjan mayor by the time the film was released.[1]

Critic Lav Diaz gave Afuang a positive review for its writing, production design and action scenes, though he opposed the film's superhuman-like portrayal of Afuang.

The film is streaming online on YouTube.

Critical response

Lav Diaz, writing his first film review for the Manila Standard, gave Afuang a positive review, commending the film's writing, production design, pacing, and action scenes, while also praising the film's "direct attack" on corruption within the police force. However, he expressed that his main gripe is the film's exaggerated portrayal of Afuang as a superhuman-like character, stating that "if the film's basis on real life is removed, [Afuang] becomes a nice action movie." Diaz was also critical of actor Eddie Garcia for his continued portrayal of "kenkoy" villains in films.[4]
