Buy Bust follows a group of specially trained operatives as they embark on a dangerous to capture a high value drug pusher and that's when chaos ensues.
A very gritty presentation. There's nothing glamorous about the world of drug enforcement and nor should be and the film doesn't pretend about it's morals either. An emphasis on how the poor live and feel plays very heavily throughout.
A highly stylized action film with the only flaw being it can be too much at times. The director is given free reign to shows his skills with the camera using one-shot techniques, obscure close-ups and seemingly flawless camera movement.
My biggest gripe would be the thin story behind such a bust without anyone really questioning anything. But maybe that's intentional...
Maybe in the current political and social climate ongoing in the Philippines speaks volumes about what the film is trying to portray. That maybe the only way things can get better is when they're at their absolute worst.
The soundtrack was pretty cool too.
