'Bullet in the Head' is a very ambitious film, combining drama, action, adventure, war, and crime. The film starts off establishing the friendship between Ben, Frank and Paul.
Ben is getting married to Jane, and Frank borrowed money to pay for the wedding. However, Frank is attacked by a gang and the money is stolen. Shortly after the wedding Ben and Frank attacks the gang in retaliation, and during the fighting the leader is killed. Together, Ben, Frank and Paul flee to Vietnam.
This sets in motion a series of events that will put their friendship to the test. It is a roller coaster ride of action, adventure and drama. I'm not going to do spoilers here, as it is best to experience the movie for yourself. The film features some stunning action sequences in true John Woo style, good photography and cinematography, and excellent performances.
With a runtime of 136 minutes, the film is interesting throughout and there never is a dull moment. While the war scenes might not always be entirely believable, they are very well made. 'Bullet in the Head' is a thoroughly entertaining, emotionally charged movie that delivers! The film score is hauntingly beautiful.
