==Production==
The production of the film took three months while principal photography took 20 days. In an article published by ''[[The Philippine Star]]'', director Paul Soriano was quoted to have said that Enrique Gil was his "first and only choice" for the role of Carlo. The two met back in 2011 when Enrique auditioned for a part in Soriano's sports biographical drama film ''[[Thelma (2011 film)|Thelma]]''. However, Enrique did not get the part due to his then difficulty in speaking the Filipino language.<ref>{{cite news|last=Dizon|first=Irish Christianne|title=Enrique is done|url=http://www.philstar.com/supreme/2016/07/09/1600844/enrique-done|date=July 9, 2016|newspaper=[[The Philippine Star]]}}</ref>

===Critical reception===
Philbert Ortiz Dy of [[ClickTheCity.com]] rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that "all in all, ''Dukot'' is a pretty engaging film. From scene to scene, it manages to maintain a certain tone and build up the tension. But it’s all in service of a narrative that doesn’t have any thematic follow-through. The film builds so much moral ambiguity, and there’s so much left to dissect as the film raises the volume on the music and jumps to its conclusion. This is a sharp piece of filmmaking, but what it ends up saying through its abandonment of its complexity is questionable at best."<ref>{{cite web|last=Dy|first=Philbert Ortiz|title='Dukot' Squanders its Complexity|url=http://www.clickthecity.com/movies/a/30337/movie-review-dukot-squanders-its-complexity|date=July 14, 2016|publisher=[[ClickTheCity.com]]}}</ref> Nazamel Tabares of Movies Philippines rated the film 4 stars out of 5 and wrote that "''Dukot'' might not be as thrilling or as meaty as the themes it tackles, but it is a well-made suspense thriller that doesn’t come often in Philippine cinemas. It lacks power in its narrative even though it hints some every now and then, but the shots are tastefully done and the story is decent enough that you get to feel the tense of the situation and what the characters are going through emotionally. Well, some of it."<ref>{{cite web|last=Tabares|first=Nazamel|title=MOVIE REVIEW: Dukot (2016)|url=https://moviesinthephilippines.com/2016/07/14/movie-review-dukot-2016/|date=July 14, 2016|publisher=Movies Philippines}}</ref> Rey de la Cruz Jr. of [[FHM Philippines]] rated the film 7.5 out of 10 describing the film as "a well-directed suspense thriller about a real-life kidnapping. Nice to see an actor like Enrique Gil finally show off his acting skills."<ref>{{cite magazine|last=de la Cruz Jr.|first=Rey|title='Dukot' Is The Kind Of Pinoy Film You Need To See|url=http://www.fhm.com.ph/lifestyle/entertainment/dukot-review-a387-20160714-lfrm|date=July 14, 2016|magazine=[[FHM Philippines]]}}</ref> Oggs Cruz of [[Rappler]] in a less positive review wrote that "the film’s failure really lies in its misdirected ambitions. It only provokes partially, quickly retreating from its hefty provocations just when the opportunity to get darker and more vicious opens up. Again, it’s all interesting in premise. Everything else is just too safe."<ref>{{cite news|last=Cruz|first=Francis Joseph|title='Dukot' review: Too safe|url=http://www.rappler.com/entertainment/movies/139866-dukot-movie-review-enrique-gil|date=July 16, 2016|work=[[Rappler]]}}</ref> Kevin Tan of Film Police Reviews rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that "''Dukot'' can be commended on injecting fresh ideas into the local mainstream industry, and it shows Soriano’s maturity in his craft. However, the script lacks the guts to deliver a story as dark and gritty as its visuals. ''Dukot'' holds back on depicting hostility and violence that could have rendered audiences more upset and unsettled about today’s reality the moment they exit theaters."<ref>{{cite web|last=Tan|first=Kevin|title=MOVIE REVIEW: Dukot (2016)|url=http://www.filmpolicereviews.com/reviews/dukot|date=July 23, 2016|publisher=Film Police Reviews}}</ref>
