Filipino film "On The Job" is set to hit theaters in the United States this year.

Ahead of its premiere at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, it was announced that Erik Matti's long awaited prison hitman thriller will be released in the US this fall, following the acquisition of Well Go USA Entertainment of the movie's North American rights.

Produced by Matti’s Reality Entertainment and Star Cinema, "On The Job" is based on an actual corruption scandal in which prisoners were released on day passes to work as hitmen.

It stars Piolo Pascual, Gerald Anderson, Rayver Cruz, Shaina Magdayao, Empress Schuck, Joel Torre, Angel Aquino, Vivian Velez, Joey Marquez, Leo Martinez, Michael de Mesa, Al Tantay, Niño Muhlach, among others.
