Bullet Ratings & Reviews

    1 of the 2 best movies of all time, the other being To Live and Die in L. A. Bullet is a perf movie. Perfect story, characters, actors, score. The script is so good that every single scene is perfection. I've watched this movie 150 times. The first time I saw it way back in the late 90s I was amazed and I've been watching it ever since. I've memorised the whole script. Such a shame Tupac left us he was so talented.

    Great flick. 2Pac and Rourke were fire together. Paddie an awesome cast job.

    One of the best depictions of Outer Burrough street life and dysfunctional lower-middle class lifestyle in the mid-90s. Outstanding performances by a proto-resurgent Mickey Rourke and an early Adrian Brody, while the cast is rounded out by amazing film veterans like Ted Levine and a pre-Omar (The Wire) Michael K. Williams. It's a set-up to be a completely gripping street drama with killer casting without having to mention Tupac. Yes, Tupac. A criminally underrated and really outstanding movie all around. Get into it!
