Bullet (1996)

Rate: 8
Viewed: 10/10

10/10: Fans of Mickey Rourke can rejoice by seeing his underrated performance in Bullet.

Julien Temple, who's responsible for the gritty and offbeat documentary The Filth and the Fury about the famous punk band The Sex Pistols, gets a lot of credit for bringing an über cult feel to the table.

Among the cast, the standouts are Ted Levine and John Enos III. Adrien Brody should be cut out. I hate his irritating presence and even more so after thinking of his overrated performance in The Pianist. Somebody take away his Oscar, please.

Back to Mickey Rourke, it's probably the best work he has done during the 90's. A lot of his choices during the time have been downright unbelievable, causing him to squander his potential.

All in all, Bullet is an arresting film that's trashy and different.
