Review of Bullet

Bullet (1996)
4/10
Starting empty, leading nowhere and ending blank
16 February 2003
This one leads nowhere and is boring doing so. Gratuitous violence apparently for the effect alone. An incredibly narrow set. No attempt to tell the audience why people become what they are or do what they do. Just an attempt at a film noir'esque crime portrait. And wow, does it fail in the attempt. And what is it with the preaching scene towards the end? It was pretty obvious in the beginning that Bullet mocked the two kids for the sheer pleasure of it - not to teach them a lesson.

By the end nothing is resolved. No clues as to anyone's motives. Nothing. Just a feeling of having wasted another hour and a half.
