Mickey Rourke is Butch "Bullet" Stein and the late Tupac Shakur is Tank in this stylish, Julien Temple-directed crime drama. Narrative is secondary to atmosphere in the violent, yet sensitive tale of an ex-con (Rourke) attempting to adjust to life on the outside. The minute Bullet emerges from the pen, however, the blood and profanity begin to flow just as freely as the references to Dali and Picasso (his younger brother is an artist). His drug problem is bad enough, but the biggest threat comes from the Kangol-sporting, eye-patched Tank, who intends to get his revenge for the eye Bullet took from him. Classical music and opera, meanwhile, bump up against hip-hop and Barry White. Despite the billing, this is Rourke's show all the way and Tupac's part is quite small in comparison. Ted Levine (The Silence of the Lambs) and Adrien Brody (The Pianist) star as Bullet's eccentric brothers. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating: - Still Not Bad After 12 years
I had bought this movie originally a couple of years after PAC was killed and I enjoyed it a lot.Looking at it again this evening on the IFC channel on cable, the one thing that stood out now as compared to watching it back then was the stars who were in this movie and how they've blown up since.We all know PAC was on the verge of blowing up movie wise before his death.Mickey was always Mickey and he kind of crashed and burned after this one but now has risen like a Phoenix back on the scene ...

- Horrible
Big Mickey Rourke fan here but this movie was horrible. Rourke was good but the entire movie was just a big pile of dung. Don't even bother.
Rating: - Gritty street cred drama
Bullet is Mickey Rourke's show, he owns it. Plus there's also a high quality ensemble cast comprising the impressive line-up of the late Tupac Shakur, Adrien Brody and Ted Levine. The storyline involves Butch Stein(Rourke) being released from prison after serving time for taking the rap for a crime he did not commit. Uppermost in his mind upon his release are two things:getting loaded on smack and getting his own back on his arch enemy Tank(Shakur). The Stein family is comically dysfunctional and ... Read More

- It was ok
Bullet wasn't Tupac's best movie role but it's a decent movie. Mickey Rourke for once doesn't do his method acting . The film has some decent cinematography and a chilling performance from Ted Levine as Rourke's brother. Maybe if more people had seen this film it would got the respect it deserves.
