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. Fennessy

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Gritty street cred drama
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.

Rating:  - It was ok
Bullet wasn't Tupac's best movie role but it's a decent movie. Mickey Rourke for once doesn't do his method acting . The film has some decent cinematography and a chilling performance from Ted Levine as Rourke's brother. Maybe if more people had seen this film it would got the respect it deserves.

Rating: - Excellent service!
Got here in record time and the DVD was in excellent condition. The movie sucked, but that was no fault of the seller LOL, whew, talk about yawn city, but I love Tupac :D
Rating:  - A rambling empty film
For a film that's supposed to be ghetto based with Tupac as a star it has about 5 minutes of Shakur and the rest is simply a walk around with Rouke's character walking around looking for a reason to get into the morgue or back in jail.
High profile names do nothing for this film. Brody doesn't have the ganster film look....Rouke's character does nothing for me and Shakur's role in the film was just that of a gang banger.
Recommended if you are a fan of any of ... Read More
