Bullet

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 Aspect Ratio : 1.85:1 Is Discontinued By Manufacturer : No MPAA rating : s_medR R (Restricted) Product Dimensions : 7.5 x 5.5 x 0.5 inches; 4 Ounces Item model number : 2261731 Director : Julien Temple Media Format : Multiple Formats, Closed-captioned, Color, Anamorphic, Dolby, Full Screen, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen Run time : 1 hour and 36 minutes Release date : June 1, 2004 Actors : Mickey Rourke, Tupac Shakur, Ted Levine, Adrien Brody, Donnie Wahlberg Subtitles: : English Producers : John Flock, Graham Burke, Greg Coote Language : Unqualified, English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround) Studio : WarnerBrothers ASIN : B00007BK2R Writers : Mickey Rourke, Bruce Rubenstein Number of discs : 1
