Review of Bullet Head (2017) by Anthony B — 14 Mar 2018

Bullet Head is like Cujo meets Reservoir Dogs and boasts an impressive cast of former A listers whom the years have not be kind to but can still deliver when given the chance... this is not one of those chances.

There is something I find really annoying about a foreign filmmaker working off of American material and in this case that filmmaker is Paul Solet who gives us Bullet Head, a beautifully shot, hollowly acted, stop-and-go slug of a crime-thriller that is entirely devoid of thrills.

Solet is proficient behind camera and his cinematography radiates passion, unlike the script which is bland melodrama and the performances which consist of tired expressions and mumbled dialogue. Also, just to clarify, everyone in the cast mumbles with the exception of Antonio Banderas because you can't mumble if you don't speak.

Easily one of the biggest disappointments for me in recent memory. I knew nothing about this film going in other than the cast and as a result my imagination ran wild, much wilder than Bullet Head itself which was so upsettingly tame it should have been titled Reservoir Pups.
