BuyBust

BuyBust (2018) is a Philippine action thriller from director Erik Matti you can watch online on iFILM. A special forces unit goes into the Manila slums to make a controlled drug buy and shut down a trafficking operation. Standard procedure — until it isn't.

They walk into a setup. Someone on the inside sold them out, and now the team is cut off inside a maze of narrow alleys with no exit and no backup. Anne Curtis plays the operative who has to hold things together as the body count climbs; Brandon Vera is her partner, built for exactly the kind of close-quarters fight that doesn't stop until somebody doesn't get up. Matti shot the film almost in real time — the action runs without pause from the moment the trap closes.

Filipino action cinema rarely gets a production this tight. BuyBust is blunt and relentless, and it stays dark the whole way through. Watch BuyBust (2018) online on iFILM.
