BulletWill Julien Temple remain forever sidelined in cinema as a director of notable pop works and documentaries, who also makes indifferent narrative features? On the evidence of his American sortie, an ultra-violent portrait of New York gangsterdom, there's little future in fiction across the Atlantic, Rourke plays Butch Stein aka Bullet gets out of prison after an eight years stint for drug and other offences and spends about eight minutes deciding to return to his old life-style of theft and scoring. He's also out for revenge on drug czar Tank (Shakur) and that way death beckons. Violent and unconvincing and denied a theatrical release. |
