Where to Watch Bullet
- thecatproJuly 15, 2026Ironically released to the public solely on the presence of the talented Tupac Shakur, whose character and plot strays away from a capable plot dealing of a Jewish family identity. The performances inside the home amongst the brothers and especially the underutilised mother were compelling. What could be a grounded drama dealing with addiction and ptsd. There is no doubt Mickey used this project to purge his own inner personal guilt and masculine proganda. It worked best during his sensitive introspective in redemption.
- medinabelloDecember 18, 20251 of the 2 best movies of all time, the other being To Live and Die in L. A. Bullet is a perf movie. Perfect story, characters, actors, score. The script is so good that every single scene is perfection. I've watched this movie 150 times. The first time I saw it way back in the late 90s I was amazed and I've been watching it ever since. I've memorised the whole script. Such a shame Tupac left us he was so talented.
