AJ Muhlach sheds his boy-next-door persona as VIVA Films launches him as the newest action star in the very timely film "double Barrel", by master director Toto Natividad. He is paired with Phoebe Walker who won Best Supporting Actress at the 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival for her performance in the horror film "Seklusyon".

Muhlach plays the role of Jeff, a drug pusher who gets caught during an extensive police operation at a slum area. After begging for his life, Jeff is spared from being killed on the condition that he will become an asset to the police. He must divulge all the names of the drug lords he knows and join the authorities in extrajudicial killings (EJK).

Walker plays Martha, Jeff's wife whose love for him leaves her with no choice but to take part in the never-ending violence. Armed with a gun and shooting down drug personalities, she and her husband are tagged as "mag asawang birador".

High-speed vehicular chases, hand to hand combat, not to mention gun fights and explosions, are employed in this engrossing action movie that is based on a true story.

Muhlach underwent rigorous fitness training as proven by his Instagram post last March. This former member of the boy group XLR8 showed off his well-toned body that is perfect for his role. Before this big break, he was seen in "Diary ng Panget", "Talk Back and You're Dead" "Para sa Hopeless Romantic", "Chain Mail", and "Felix Manalo". Muhlach also starred in the TV series "P.S. I Love You", and "Bagets Just Got Lucky"./
