Balas de Sangue

I've seen a lot of movies, I've seen a lot of action movies. I've seen Hollywood and Indie movies. I've seen good movies and horrible movies. Bullets is a great movie, for several reasons. First of all it is ENTERTAINING as hell! The bottom line, when you see a movie you want to feel like you got your money's worth, or in this case your cold hard CASH's worth. Minute for minute, punch for punch, shot for shot Bullets delivers entertainment! Big Time! Another reason Bullets straight up Rocks is that fact that it is a truly independent film. Akina Films, the film production company that made Bullets, calls it "The most ruthless independent film ever made!" That could be an arguable statement, I mean I haven't seen EVERY film ever made so who knows maybe there is another more ruthless indie out there, but not one that I've ever seen! But, how true Akina Films own take on their film may be, it is a TRUE independent film. You ever notice how there are all these "idependent films" out there that were made for like $25 million with a HUGE star attached? To me that's not REALLY independent, that's just a movie that wasn't made by a big studio. Bullet's on the other hand DEFINES the true meaning of the word "independent". If I had to guess just from what I saw on the screen, I would say the budget for Bullets was maybe $1-2 million but I heard it was more like less than $100 thousand! There are no Hollywood Stars in this movie, but I wouldn't be surprised if this movie helped make a star out of a few of the actors because the acting is, for the most part incredible. The cinematography is straight up DOPE, and the story is not only satisfying, but has some great twists. The bottom line is that if you are a Tarantino or a Guy Ritchie fan, you should not only SEE this movie in the theater, but when it's available on DVD you should flip some flow and add this to your collection! Bullet's, Blood and a Fistful of Ca$h, I give Two Fists Straight UP!

To be honest, this writer nearly shut down the movie in the first three minutes. There is a lot of hand-held, jerky camera work, and that is a great turnoff.

Fortunately, the movie stayed on. The writing was not bad at all, and the direction was noticeably better than most films with a comparative budget. The character of Cash is one you almost want to hate... Except the actual villains are more despicable.

Basically, this movie is about a bad guy taking out worse guys in order to take his revenge on a purely evil guy. There's a lot of violence and a lot of swearing, but very little nudity.

This receives a six out of ten only because of the production quality, and the feeling that it could have attained even higher heights. Nevertheless, it is a great movie for the vengeance aficionado.

I'm guessing this guy saw "Sin City" and really, really liked it.

a cheap-as-dirt ripoff of sin city / any Tarantino movie... lots of blood and violence, satisfyingly gritty.

the main guy is basically a Marv stand-in, right down to the gruff voice over.

not a bad little movie, but not original in any way either. pretty good, in a grim, gritty sort of way.

the main guy makes a pretty convincing, if Michael Dudikoff-esquire, killing machine.

not bad, but pretty freaking standard. looks pretty much exactly like every other movie on Starz Action channel, but with slightly more blood.

If you like Quentin Tarantino type action movies, IE Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, then you are going to like this movie. Shot with the same kind of gritty camera work that made movies like Three Kings so interesting, this movie doesn't disappoint. The main character is who you want to be. He is THE man. The story is great, complicated, and confusing all at the same time. The characters are wonderfully cheesy, unique, and unforgettable. The fact that they made it with an uber low budget (50k????) is just remarkable. I've watched studio films that were not nearly as entertaining as this. Its like a soap opera, you have to keep watching to see what happens next! If your looking for an evening filled with lots of action, gunshots, gangsters, and plenty of gore, this film is your ticket!

Looks good for the low budget, but a terrible script and very very badly acted. I am sure some of the votes of 10 stars are from friends of the director or something. This looks like a well made student film. I know it was shot on film and some of it is shot very well. I am sure most of the budget was spent on the shoot not on getting a good script or good actors. The director does show promise, I would like to see what he does with a decent script. This is by no means on par with any thing like a Sexy Beast, or Tarantino flick. More like a very bad Steven Segal film or a Brian Bosworth film. A best this film is joke of an action film. If there cast were believable and said believable things it would be bearable.
