Bala Ko, Bahala Sa 'Yo is a technical flop. Prepare to get dizzy following the close-up shots, and be ready to listen to unrehearsed dialogue. The music neither enhances nor distracts from the visuals—it simply has no power to create mood or even to be heard over all those gunshots. The story was written, it seems, for the sake of writing something, because although there is some semblance of a story, it carries no message that seems worth the money and effort pumped into the movie's production. As if that weren't enough, the story's credibility suffers even further from the injection of side remarks and gestures meant to be funny but which succeed only at annoying the viewer. Bala ko... offers a lot more action than acting—the unfortunate result of putting "stars" in front of movie cameras before they can even think of taking acting lessons.
