Anne Curtis thriller to open locally on Aug. 1

Anne Curtis

‘Buy Bust.’ the much-awaited action-thriller film of Anne Curtis is set to hit Philippine theaters starting August 1.

The movie will also be closing the New York Asian Film Festival this coming July. The official poster and teaser of the film will be out and ready this Friday and fans have laid out their excitement for the film.

The story follows two teams deployed by an antidrug enforcement agency to clean up drug-infested slums of Metro Manila.

Unlike her usual classy, poised, compelling roles, Buy Bust this time features a badass murderous Anne who shows a no-holds-barred style in slaying bad guys.

For this movie, Curtis underwent training for Pekiti-Tirsia Kali, a Filipino martial art that uses improvised weapons for self-defense.

Directed by Erik Matti, Buy Bust stars an ensemble cast including Brandon Vera, Joross Gamboa, Mara Lopez, Nonie Buencamino, AJ Muhlach and Victor Neri. /cbb
