Where to Watch BuyBust
- cyberbillpAugust 22, 2025This is the grittiest hardcore street fighting movie ever made. Machete's, pipes, bats, knives, pistols all being wielded in a non-stop 2 hour bloody hand to hand extravaganza. You do have to read subtitles, but a meat cleaver to the head doesn't require a lot of discorse. Some of the choreography could have been tightened up a bit here and there. But all in all it's good. All practical effects, no cgi. Buy Bust is like "Escape From New York" meets "The Walking Dead". But the zombies are people. I've watched it twice now, so that's saying something.
