'''''BuyBust''''' is a 2018 Filipino action film. The film follows Nina Manigan (Anne Curtis), a police officer and the lone survivor of a failed drug raid assigned to a Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency squad on a mission to track down and kill drug kingpin Biggie Chen (Arjo Atayde) in his hideout in the labyrinthine and densely-populated ''barangay'' (Filipino term for neighborhood/district) and shanty town Gracia ni Maria (Mary's Grace). The film recieved a mixed-to-positive reception upon its release, with reviewers commonly criticizing the film as a copy of 2011's ''[[The Raid: Redemption]]'' and for its unclear political stance and commentary on the Philippine Drug War, but praising the acting and action sequences.
