REVIEWS
"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." -Richard Kuipers, Variety
"When "BuyBust" finally combusts, it's often simultaneously spectacular and disturbing." -Cary Darling, Houston Chronicle
"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. " -Jeanette Catsoulis, The New York Times
