BuyBust Ratings & Reviews
Film Pulse
Adam Patterson
A non-stop, adrenaline-soaked bloodbath that hits the ground running and doesn't let up until the exhausting conclusion.
Houston Chronicle
Cary Darling
When "BuyBust" finally combusts, it's often simultaneously spectacular and disturbing.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
So often bogged down by pseudo-naturalistic long takes and generic cop/robber power dynamics that it makes one wonder what the point of watching such a film is.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
Some of the sequences are crazy in construction, but few make good on their promise of showing more than easy blocks and arm-twisting flips.
The Playlist
Bradley Warren
The politics of BuyBust are thorny and contentious, addressing the Filipino War on Drugs with a decided lack of elegance.
The Last Thing I See
Brent McKnight
Rough around the edges and chaotic, and full of weird-as-hell flourishes, it's mean and violent and bleak as hell-be prepared for beheadings and morally questionable dirty deeds American movies shy away from.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Featuring one villain in leopard pants and another in a bathrobe, "BuyBust" is surprisingly funny for a movie that's basically a massacre in progress.
Village Voice
Karen Han
It feels like the film is trying to have it both ways, turning violence into a joyride even as it condemns it.
The Hollywood Reporter
Clarence Tsui
Goes beyond easy moral binaries to highlight how Duterte's warped worldview has made monsters out of everyone from the police to the peddlers to the ordinary people in between...
Variety
Richard Kuipers
A superbly executed action film about drug squad members fighting for their lives in a maze-like Manila slum that resembles nothing less than hell on earth.
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
The film starts a bit slowly, building the tension and introducing the characters, but as soon as the story moves to the slums, the action picks up and never actually stops, taking over the whole narrative.
Cinema Escapist
Richard Yu
Beyond its realistic portrayal of gunfights, BuyBust does not shy away from the brutal realities of a drug war. Civilians living in the slum are caught in the crossfire, and ultimately rise up to attack both the drug cartel and the PDEA agents.
Cinapse
Ed Travis
The stars, director, and crew put their best efforts in for our entertainment and in the end they put enough heart and soul in that it ultimately works.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Michael Gingold
Tthe movie makes potent points about the collateral damage wreaked by the Philippines' war on drugs, as the residents of lower-class communities like Gracia suffer and die thanks to the cop-vs.-criminal conflicts playing out in their midst.
