Critic Reviews

Richard Roeper

Dec 8, 2017

Writer-director Paul Solet serves up some intricately choreographed and creative action sequences and some gruesomely realistic violence.... Mostly, though, Bullet Head is about the characters and the crackling dialogue, and the first-rate actors giving just the right spin to their lines. Read full review

Gary Goldstein

Dec 7, 2017

As a perilous dog-and-mouse game ensues, Solet packs his script with tension, dimension and several vivid flashbacks recalling the characters’ seminal encounters with dogs. Cool camerawork too. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

Dec 6, 2017

Despite featuring emotionally static characters who undergo no personal development and having the structure of basic robbery-and-chase setup, Bullet Head is the kind of action film that throws mindlessness to the dogs. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

Dec 7, 2017

The result is a film that somehow manages to be fairly watchable, yet nonetheless really needed intervention from the conceptual stage onward. Read full review

Michael Gingold

Dec 9, 2017

Solet has turned out a very slick product and handles some of the action with brio, particularly a chase-across-buses set piece. But with too little freshness for crime-drama devotees, too many furry corpses for animal lovers and a thoroughly predictable wrap-up, Bullet Head ultimately screws the pooch. Read full review

Is Bullet Head good? In truth, it’s drab, derivative and more than slightly silly, but it’s tough to dislike like a movie that proceeds as if the 1990s cycle of Quentin Tarantino knockoffs never ended and that uses the prospect of gory canine violence in service of loud and persistent pro-dog cheerleading.

Strong cast, interesting writing and gritty direction. Although the dogfight stuff could be intense, it's carefully shot to avoid that. Ultimately, a sweet tribute to dogs wrapped in a compelling action caper.

The several stories told by the characters are interesting, some funny and some heartbreaking. And then there's the story of De Niro, which is heartbreaking on itself. You'll start seeing De Niro as the villian, but by the end you'll feel for him and it can make you cry to see.

This movie was an unexpected pleasant surprise for me. I give it an 8/10, it's an excellent movie.… Expand

Three men hiding out in a large abandoned warehouse complex after a botched heist re-live some of their past. They are intelligent and sensitive and parts of their past lives are re-lived through their eyes. There is also a protagonist, a dog, whose life is also re-lived through his eyes. There is the requisite chase scene and nominal violence that all American movies seem to have (gotta have guns and blood). There is also a more realistic tension in that the movie's "monster" is real and not the usual comic book/sci-fi freak or zombie. Brody gives one of his best performances.

Good movie, worth watching.… Expand

As a guy who never owned a dog there's probably a lot going over my head, but I certainly, mostly enjoyed my time with this movie. Especially the transitions between scenes and the actors (John Malkovich, duh) are very interesting to watch and creative. Still, the movie had a very low budgetAs a guy who never owned a dog there's probably a lot going over my head, but I certainly, mostly enjoyed my time with this movie. Especially the transitions between scenes and the actors (John Malkovich, duh) are very interesting to watch and creative. Still, the movie had a very low budget and you definitely see that. Also the end fight is kinda unexpected and really out of the blue, with a long foreseen plot-twist.
I can't really recommend this movie, but I certainly liked my time with it, somewhat at least.… Expand

A thriller of the most basic formula. Nothing impressive in the story or in its handling.
In addition of wasting three actors who show to be completely disinterested in making a good movie again

Banderas, Malkovich, Brody... que du beau monde qu'on se réjouit de (re)voir, surtout ensemble ici, même si Banderas a un plus petit rôle que les autres (le méchant de service...).

Hélas (et il y aura beaucoup de "hélas") le film plutôt intrigant au début ne sait décidément pas sur quel pied danser : est-ce un polar -en l'occurrence des truands en fuite après un casse qui a mal tourné- ou un "simple" thriller avec un requin sur pattes ?

Hélas, il semble que le véritable héros soit seulement ce putain de clébard (les dents de la terre je suppose) très énervé, car maltraité (et mal élevé) : ils auraient dû alors le faire parler, quitte à démarrer une thérapie, une psychanalyse... alors mon gros toutou, on est en colère ? tu sais que c'est pas bien de bouffer les gens ? tu veux un nonosse ?... non pas le mien, lâche mon bras !

D'ailleurs, on ne voit aucun rapport entre le titre (Bullet head ?) et cette pseudo-histoire qui multiplie les retours en arrière comme autant de digressions inutiles sur les truands et le cabot... mais aucun retour sur le casse par contre ?!...

Une série B qui mouline donc dans le vide et lorgne vers la série D, E, F... voire plus loin dans l'alphabet. Je me suis arrêté quand Brody se la joue "S.P.A." : là, on sombre d'un coup dans le burlesque !… Expand

The film is not interesting. Do not waste your time watching it. Good actors. Bad plot. This film is an attempt to make candy out of sh!t. Minimal scenery and a small number of actors assumed low costs for the film, but "sharpness of the plot" - good fees. The trick was not successful. firstThe film is not interesting.
