BuyBust is an action-thriller film directed by Erik Matti and released in 2018. The story follows an anti-narcotics special forces team led by Nina Manigan (played by Anne Curtis), as they carry out a raid on a drug den in a slum area in the Philippines.
During the initial stages of the raid, the team encounters resistance from the drug dealers and their associates. As the situation escalates, it becomes clear that they have been set-up and betrayed by their own government agency. The team becomes trapped within the drug den with no backup or support, and must fight their way out.
The film is known for its intense action scenes and gritty realism, and has drawn comparisons to other action movies like The Raid and John Wick. The story also explores themes of corruption, violence, and redemption in a society plagued by the drug trade.
BuyBust was well-received by critics and audiences, and has been praised for its thrilling action sequences and strong performances, particularly by Anne Curtis in the lead role. The film was also notable for its use of practical effects and stunts, rather than relying heavily on CGI.
