movie review - Bullet Head

twenty-seven years and one million words

This is an interesting story that feels like an adaptation from a stage production. It's about a trio of criminals who find themselves in an atmospheric warehouse with several unrelated troubles including a very determined guard dog. It's a bit rough in its execution, but I found myself somehow rooting for the movie as it bumped its way along. The cast is superb, the story hangs together mostly well, and the ending makes it worthwhile.

It's not an easy watch either in content or execution, but I'd see it again.

Recommended.
