The resolute commitment to finding tiny sparks of hope in a pitch-black cosmos yields its own bitter and oddly warming reward. Read full review

Nick Cassavetes’ slick adaptation certainly maintains the book’s mix of lurid incident and pontificating pretentiousness — albeit without the kind of intensity that might have made this far-fetched story credible, or the atmospheric style that might’ve pulled it off as a fevered nightmare à la David Lynch instead.

This exercise in brutal nihilism ultimately proves as empty as the inane philosophy that provides the film its title. Read full review

Aside from the red stuff, the film is scarcely interested in what’s inside its characters. Read full review

Cut God Is A Bullet down to a tight 90 minutes, and it might at least consistently deliver the cheap thrills and nihilistic kick it only occasionally achieves. Read full review

A lumbering Frankenstein’s monster of a B movie. Read full review

A distasteful, overlong slog, but at least the filmmaker appears to have put everything he wanted to up on the screen. Read full review

This is a gritty and pulpy grindhouse movie that recalls great revenge films like The Hills Have Eyes and I Spit on You're Grave. Yes, it's a Violent film dealing with a dark cult that kidnaps young girls which may be too much for some viewers. Great performances from Maika Monroe and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau insured I stuck around to the very bloody end - 10 stars… Expand

God Is a Bullet is a movie that deserves credit for taking an approach that doesn't try to persuade through subtlety, though it may at first appear to do so.
Indeed, there are some startling moments, but they fail to evoke any sense of amazement.

While Maika Monroe and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau provide capable performances as the leads, their efforts fall short in elevating this film beyond its state of mediocrity and superficiality.

Below average to be honest.… Expand
