BuyBust (November 15)
Filipinos love action films and BuyBust does not disappoint. An anti-drug squad finds themselves trapped in a Manila slum when their operation is compromised. Anne Curtis delivers an outstanding performance as an officer fighting for her life. I still remember how much new-found respect I had for Anne Curtis after the movie and I will soon be able to relive it again at home!
