Movie Reviews of Bullet
Movie Review: Gritty street cred drama
Summary: 4 Stars
Bullet is Mickey Rourke's show, he owns it. Plus there's also a high quality ensemble cast comprising the impressive line-up of the late Tupac Shakur, Adrien Brody and Ted Levine. The storyline involves Butch Stein(Rourke) being released from prison after serving time for taking the rap for a crime he did not commit. Uppermost in his mind upon his release are two things:getting loaded on smack and getting his own back on his arch enemy Tank(Shakur). The Stein family is comically dysfunctional and the hysterical reunion dinner dialogue involving the convict Butch Stein(Rourke), the schizophrenic psychotic "GI Joe" Lewis Stein(Levine) and the "Salvador Dali" Ruby Stein (Brody) with them all being thirty something, still living at home, being terrorised by their alcoholic ball- breaking overworked father and nannied by their yenter jewish mother really sent me over the edge. It's the classic Jewish "We did eveything we could for you boys and look how you turned out" schpiel.
Butch Stein knows he is too far gone on the drug addiction and life of crime for any reform and his fate is to finally square off his revenge with drug dealer Tank.
There is a great supporting cast and John Enos III as the closeted homosexual Stein family friend Lester delivers a solid and convincing performance. Julien Temple delivers a sylishly directed film with wonderful camera angles, a superb Barry White music score which adds to the contradictory love and beauty theme within the contorted urban grit of big bad city life.
Fully recommended.
Summary of Bullet
Mickey Rourke is Butch "Bullet" Stein and the late Tupac Shakur is Tank in this stylish, Julien Temple-directed crime drama. Narrative is secondary to atmosphere in the violent, yet sensitive tale of an ex-con (Rourke) attempting to adjust to life on the outside. The minute Bullet emerges from the pen, however, the blood and profanity begin to flow just as freely as the references to Dali and Picasso (his younger brother is an artist). His drug problem is bad enough, but the biggest threat comes from the Kangol-sporting, eye-patched Tank, who intends to get his revenge for the eye Bullet took from him. Classical music and opera, meanwhile, bump up against hip-hop and Barry White. Despite the billing, this is Rourke's show all the way and Tupac's part is quite small in comparison. Ted Levine (The Silence of the Lambs) and Adrien Brody (The Pianist) star as Bullet's eccentric brothers. --Kathleen C. FennessyBullet Mickey Rourke and rap music star Tupac Shakur in one of his final film roles star in this gritty urban thriller about what it takes to survive on the street. Also starring Ted Levine it's a stylish mix of brutality and revenge it journeys into the dark and underground world of two men who share a bitter hatred and grudging respect. Like Pulp Fiction it is one of the new breed of action films-powerful violent and real.Running Time: 96 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE UPC: 794043613425
