Product Description

Bullet (DVD)

Bullet 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.

Amazon.com

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

The Delicate Male Emotions In Ghetto Dope Living

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2015

Verified Purchase

Bullet, film actor Mickey Rourke, now beside Mickey Rourke in my opinion being an outstanding actor, this particular film ‘Bullet’ really touches my heart, in its malicious, malignant, and absolutely tough guy life in the down deep ghetto of New York City & Prison Life, it is a delicate film of male emotions of equally delicate male emotions. Male emotions I don’t think to many directors get in tune with in male characters, in this film there is an implication of homosexuality without the scenes being blatantly homosexual in their performance. We Protestant and Catholic American’s don’t like to address in the film media or any other media, that men do have love for one another, and its all not homosexual or blatant in sexuality (not to say such love won’t lead to sexuality between men, but so what!) Mickey Rourke portrays a man who has been in prison for eight years, and has probably learned what love and loving hostility can be between men, on top of that, he’s got a heroin addiction, which eventually gives his character a don’t give a damn attitude about life in general, except of course to find ways to get that next heroin hit, which is his characters cop-out to the life and living. Perhaps I have a special empathy to this Mickey Rourke film because I am a recovering addict myself, and saw so much of myself in Mickey Rourkes excellently portrayed character in this film. A film not recommended for the light hearted or naïve person.

criterion quality, all priceless

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2003

An important and contemporary film about street life to be sure, but there's something magical about Bullet. First of all, you'll never see anything like this again, Tupac: gone, Mickey: just different these days, and Wahlberg played "Big Balls". You can tell, that things just came together to make an incredible film. Little details of realism and humble, masterful performances. For example, even character interaction with "Big Balls" is given careful attention. Bullet says in a caring way "how you doin Big Balls?". He treats Balls with respect because Balls says exactly what he feels (and is not afraid - hence "Big Balls"). Even after Balls says "none of this ...happened until this crazy ... showed up" Bullet is calm and doesn't take it as a personal attack, he just sits there and let's them yell it out. Bullet is afraid of no-one. Neither is "Tank" (Tupac), and "men love to hate". So the story goes. It's not just drama, (I hate drama) it's priceless nuance and good filmaking. If you enjoyed New Jack, Menace2 or Sugar Hill, Bullet will blow em away. You'll be touched, but don't let that stop you. Don't miss Bullet.
As for the storyline: Bullet (Mickey Rourke) gets out of prison and the very same day, exacts revenge on Tank (Tupac) by robbing some of his smack customers and stabbing one his dealers in the eye. From there, we go through family and interpersonal dysfunctions of Bullet and his foemen. There is more tragedy than optimism, so be warned. One thing fer sure, you'll never shoot smack.

A good movie

THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING....... For fans of buffalo bill from the silence of the lambs, youre gonna love this one. This movie is kind of different in that it shows gang bangers from a Jewish prospective.............odd to hear i know, but seems to exist once you watch this. A typical hood life type movie but instead of life in the hood, its more like life in the big city and hustlin for your heroine addiction. Drug use and violence keeps you watching. A good story which brings a tear to your eye when the revenge scene takes place, makes you chear for and feel glad that our lead character got even. This is a very gritty and action packed movie, with a good story. Has a good lesson for living the "cool" life. Love the drug abuse and fight scenes in this one. You will enjoy this one.

A gritty and unique film, a great watch for Mickey Rouke fans. Fantastic performance from Ted Levine, formally "Buffalo Bill" from "The Silence Of The Lambs". A must have for fans of Tupac Shakur on the big screen, not a ton of screen time for Tupac, but the scenes he is in are great. Tupac's co star from "Juice" Jermaine Hopkins also appears in this movie. Also features "The Sopranos" actress Suzanne Shepherd as Rouke's mother. Order a copy, and check out Tupac's other films if you get a chance. Peace.

Thoroughly enjoyable

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2014

I don't invite people over to watch movies, I just don't do it, but after seeing Bullet I had to set up a movie night. The scenes with Rourke and his crew are some of the best you'll ever want to see and if you appreciate good lines then this flick is a goldmine. The scenes with Tupac and his guys feel like a "B" movie and hurts the overall rating but who cares? This movie is awesome and Rourke's nutty older brother is a classic.

It should have been better

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2013

The ingredients were all there, but ultimately it just didn't come together. The acting which was top knotch from all corners wasn't to blame; Mickey Rourke, Tupac, Adrian Brody, Ted Levine & John Enos fully fleshed out their roles. And the story was compelling; the lost hope of a Jewish family destroyed by drug abuse and imprisonment of the middle son (Rourke), the mental breakdown of the eldest son (Levine) and the aimless drifting of lost graffiti artist & younger son (Brody). The tension builds as ex-convict Rourke and his nemesis Tupac like two wild cats hiss and spit and curse at each other from scene to scene until they pounce.

It may be that the writer did not ultimately decide if he was writing a family drama, or a personal redemption story centered on the mean streets. Still a good film.

Good movie, one of the best movies that Tupac ever did. It is a very gritty movie and does a good job of showing the seedier side of New York. It has a good story and a great ending. Mickey Rourke is great in his role of bullet and Tupac does a good job in his role of Tank. Very entertaining movie, if you are a fan of this genre or a fan of Mickey Rourke and Tupac, then this is a must see. 8/10

Very good but not perfect view of the life of the poor. The acting was good but there is a slightly narcissistc edge to Mickey Rourke's writing that can be a little annoying.

This is, however, highly recommended.

Any movie starring Tupac Shakur will receive a 5 star rating from me that's just the way it is and I am not here to write a movie review go to IMDB for that but Zoverstocks have never failed to impress me with their service price = amazing - condition = used but if I didn't know I would have thought I was the first owner and this DVD was delivered on the earliest estimated date (ME = HAPPY)
