When the chief baddie both stutters and slaughters puppies, you know you're in trouble.

A generic, derivative gangster yarn.

3/5

Its many memorable characters, adrenalin-charged action sequences and heart-stopping car chases make for a guilty pleasure.

3.5/5

As violent as this mob thriller is, it also has a terrific sense of its central characters, focussing on strong emotions and moral decisions. And even though it's overcomplicated, the result is a sleek and very classy.

3/5

Without a compelling plot to hold our attention, this only amounts to an impressively bloody bullet-a-thon: 22 seems a very conservative estimate...

An unremarkable French thriller that feels like a Seventies Charles Bronson effort.

Good cinematography and bloody awful plot. The story is full of holes. And as Aron Sorkin said after our suspension of disbelieve is broken it's really hard to bring us back to enjoying the movie. 22 Bullets does few things that are so improbable that it's impossible to follow the story without a smirk on our face. First the recovery rate, secondly illogical choices of the protagonist (for example to send his child to school even though he asked his family to hide.), ridding a motorbike when he had struggles to walk just few days ago (plus it would be quite hard with a paralyzed hand). There is also a problem with sloppy make up department that forgot to draw his cheek scar near the end of the movie, also how is it possible to have no burn marks after being sproung down with boiling watter... To sum things up this movie was a waste of money especially since it has a lot of expensive looking scenes in it.

Enjoyable on DVD, but would be way disappointing if I paid box office prices. Bloody but surprises are a few too little, entertaining but sub-par on every level. Reno is always good, and a supporting cast is decent. Worth a view.
