Segurista (International title: Dead Sure) is a 1996 Philippine neo-noir drama film co-written and directed by Tikoy Aguiluz. The film stars Michelle Aldana as the title role. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
By day, Karen Fernandez (Michelle Aldana) is a sales agent for an insurance company. She constantly meets sales targets set by her company and is considered as their top agent. By night, she covertly works as a guest relations officer (GRO), which she uses to draw her daytime clients to buy into her insurance product. All of her activities day and night are for one reason: securing the future of her family. Amidst the temptation of falling in love with her clients, Karen is focused on working hard for the money.
A tragedy occurs when a night of having fun went wrong. Resisting the advances of her friend's lover, she flees by riding a taxi. But the taxi driver himself had other plans as he decides to bring Karen to a lahar-infested area and satisfy his lust on her before killing her off. Her death served as a catalyst for change as her beneficiaries finally receive the fruits of her labor. [8]
Dead Sure won seven awards in the 21st Gawad Urian Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor.[ citation needed]
The film was selected as the Philippines entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 69th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee. [9] [10]
Rated B by the Film Ratings Board. Strictly for adults only!
