[23] On Metacritic it received "Generally favorable reviews," with an average rating of 68 out of 100 based on 10 reviews. Which left me wondering: why am I watching yet another movie where a hero's worth is determined by how much physical damage she can sustain? It’s a rare thing for a Pinoy action movie to grasp you for two straight hours. Just click the "Edit page" button at the bottom of the page or learn more in the Synopsis submission guide. Curtis's performance is strong enough to make Manigan initially seem like more than a garden-variety Ripley clone. The plot centers on a team summoned by the PDEA to conduct a drug bust in a Manila slum.

I enjoy a fair amount of gory entertainments, and certainly knew "BuyBust" was a body count film when I sat down to see it. [17] Matti denounced the incident on a lengthy Facebook post, in which he argued that the selection process was "rigged" to favor "the powerful personalities controlling the festival". But when her new mission in the city's most dangerous slum goes south, the angry civilians turn on her squad. Plot Keywords BuyBust (styled BUYBUST) is a 2018 Philippine action thriller[6] film co-written and directed by Erik Matti. I see many people often compared BuyBust to The Raid a fantastic action movie from Indonesia in a distasteful manner and I wholeheartedly agree with them about how cliche and boring the plot is but not the action. My brother was apprehended in a buy-bust operation and was accused of selling illegal drugs. But that didn't lessen the rote, numbing effect that the film's violence had on me. Impact seems to be the thing, as we often see in any scene that climaxes with a shower of blood. But it is, right down to Manigan's inevitable showdown with Chen, yet another scene where a proudly immoral villain boasts about moral relativity. [2], At the urging of the producers, Matti submitted the BuyBust script to the 2017 Metro Manila Film Festival, but was rejected in the first tier of the selection process. It's an un-sensational, small moment, but a good one. [11] She elected performing most of her stunts by herself. Miranda July on Kajillionaire, Instagram Filmmaking, Creativity and More, Realizing You're Just a Fantasy in I'm Thinking Of Ending Things, On Playing Sports Games in a World without Sports, Bubba Wallace Makes NASCAR History By Toppling Confederate Symbols, Joining Michael Jordan’s First Black Majority-Owned Racecar Team. The main difference between the two films—both of which follow a tough, entrenched Good Cop as they try to extricate themselves from a drug bust gone wrong—is that "BuyBust" isn't so frequently inspired in its choreography that it can get away with its substantial brutality. It looks like we don't have a Synopsis for this title yet. Matti's focus on energy over gracefulness is especially unfortunate since one of the most visually compelling sequences in the film is a showcase for Manigan's mountainous colleague Rico (Brandon Vera), a charismatic giant of a man whose bald head and massive physique brings wrestlers-turned-actors like Dave Bautista and Dwayne Johnson to mind. Any moments of inspiration or coolness, and there are some, are overwhelmed by mediocre execution. "[26] Rokey Desingaño in Manila Bulletin complimented BuyBust as "first-rate" and credited it with bringing Philippine action films "to another level".
