Critical response[edit]
Jojo Legaspi, writing for the National Midweek, gave Kontra Bandido a positive review, commending the film's fairly effective combination of the action and comedy genres which he stated was "because of several effective departures from local convention." Legaspi also wrote that the film did well in providing a good ensemble support to Niño Muhlach, whose popularity was declining due to him slowly outgrowing his child actor status.[2]

... Niño Muhlach's comeback picture did well in providing ample acting support to offset the star's deficient appeal, coming as he does midway between cute kid and marketable teenybopper.
