BuyBust is a 2018 Filipino action-thriller film co-written and directed by Erik Matti.Nina Manigan (Anne Curtis) is a decent, honorable cop who joins a PDEA (Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency) squad after an operation gone wrong kills everyone in her old squad except herself, leading her to be labeled unfairly as a traitor, or "Hudas" (Judas). Shortly after joining the new squad, the entire team, as well as another squad led by Dirty Cop Rudy dela Cruz (Lao Rodriguez), goes on a mission to take out notorious drug lord Biggie Chen (Arjo Atayde) in a decrepit slum area called Gracia ni Maria ("Mary's Grace"), only for the mission to go horribly wrong almost from the get-go, as Chen's numerous thugs and a plethora of angry villagers, among other factors, make it almost impossible for the squads to make it out alive.Some critics have seen the movie as being supportive of the drug war conducted under President Rodrigo Duterte. | |

The same applies to "Cocky," his translated name in the subtitles. He tries to blow Manigan and Teban up with a cart of explosives and even tells Chongki that it'll work in one go. Manigan ends up using it against most of his crew. | |

Crapsack World | |
| BuyBust / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: The entire barrio of Gracia ni Maria qualifies as this. If the residents aren't under Chen's employ, they're intensely distrustful of, and oftentimes violent toward cops. It doesn't help that there are many drug labs and seedy bars/possible prostitution dens in the area. | |

Blatant Lies | |
| BuyBust / int_40bb59d0 | comment |
Blatant Lies: At the end of the film, a news report says that 13 people, including policemen, suspects, and other casualties, died in the siege of Gracia ni Maria. It is obviously much, much more than 13, possibly way more than 100, as further driven home by the overhead shot of all the dead bodies in the slum area. It could also be a case of Writers Cannot Do Math taken up to eleven. Fridge Brilliance kicks in if you only count the two 6-man squads (minus Manigan), Teban, and dela Cruz as the casualties. | |

Affably Evil: Alvarez. He starts out as the proverbial "good cop" to dela Cruz's foul-mouthed, physically abusive "bad cop" when the two senior officers are interrogating informant Teban. As it turns out, Chen's big reveal is that Alvarez is the number one "Judas" on the force. | |

Pint-Sized Powerhouse | |
| BuyBust / int_53a7089a | comment |
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: "Boss" Chongki. He's short in stature, skinny and haggard-looking due to years of hard living, and his hair is graying. But he can more than hold his own in any fight (not surprising, as he's played by martial arts expert Levi Ignacio), even if it means doing most of the damage when he and his thugs kill the tall, burly police officer Iggy Hizon early on in the film, marking Manigan's squad's first casualty. In fact, he only dies near the end of the film, right before the big confrontation between Manigan and Chen, and only because of Friendly Fire. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| BuyBust / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Biggie Chen, being that he is established from the start as the film's Big Bad. Until he reveals that there is someone in charge who surprisingly fits the billing better than he does – ostensible good cop Alvarez. Chongki, who is Chen's second-in-command. His name is a Filipino slang for marijuana. Manok, a perpetually stoned, cowardly member of Chen's gang who loves cracking wise, and is only tough when he's got an army of his fellow gun-toting henchmen behind him. The word "manok" translates to "chicken" (as in the animal) in Tagalog. The same applies to "Cocky," his translated name in the subtitles. He tries to blow Manigan and Teban up with a cart of explosives and even tells Chongki that it'll work in one go. Manigan ends up using it against most of his crew. | |

Later on, he takes her aside and assures her that he's on her side – she just needs to cooperate with the rest of the squad. | |

Symbolism: The entire film is considered to be a critique of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs, an initiative that has killed many, allegedly including several innocent lives, since he was sworn in as president in 2016. The corrupt senior officers can be seen as representations of Duterte and former Philippine National Police Chief Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa, while the angry residents of Gracia ni Maria are widely believed to be representations of Duterte's die-hard supporters, who have been known to cyberbully and dogpile critics of his administration, among other overzealous acts of support for the controversial leader. | |

One-Man Army: Discussed and downplayed. Yatco is able to fend off most of the mob when he tries to buy Manigan and Teban time to escape, but dies from a Boom, Headshot! The only reasons he survived until then were his Bulletproof Vest and physique. Manigan is able to perform the fight in the trope below, but suffers severe injuries afterwards. It's made clear that she is in no condition to fight in close quarters against several enemies afterwards. If it hadn't been for her Wouldn't Hurt a Child moment, reflexes, and shooting skills, she would have died either trying to get to Biggie or leaving with him. | |

His immense size and strength also makes him nearly indestructible, and he survives many things, including multiple gunshot wounds, that would otherwise kill another police officer. Until he is eventually shot in the head. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: The woman Solomon gives his gun to as he declares a manhunt and the girl next to her turn out to be his wife and his elder daughter. The wife fires the first shot at Chongki when Solomon and the mob decide to kill both sides. Sparing the daughter is the only reason why Manigan lives once she captures Chen. The motorcycle riders who kill Santos in the second fight sequence turn out to be the Tondo Kids who nearly kill Manigan, Yatco, and Teban when they hole up in a safehouse. | |

Dirty Cop | |
| BuyBust / int_eb251937 | comment |
Dirty Cop: Early on, it's established that dela Cruz is the obvious example, but toward the end, Manigan realizes, thanks to Chen's comment about dela Cruz being far from the only "Judas" in the force, that she's a very rare exception in an police force full of them. | |
