Bullet
A tough, Jewish ex-con just released from prison crosses a powerful drug dealer and former prison rival in his return to a life of crime.
Critics Sentiment
Ted Levine's Louis introduced as mentally disturbed Vietnam veteran
Ruby gets stabbed through the hand during drug spot robbery
The film dips to its lowest point with Ruby's stabbing incident that critics found lacking in consequences, then gradually builds back through character development.
Bullet maintains a gritty but uneven quality throughout, with critics consistently praising the authentic family dynamics and standout performances, particularly Ted Levine's war veteran brother. While some found the revenge plot predictable and full of holes, most reviewers appreciated Rourke's committed performance and the film's unflinching portrayal of street life. The emotional moments between family members consistently scored higher than the action sequences.
