GOD IS A BULLET follows detective Bob Hightower (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), who finds his ex-wife murdered and his daughter kidnapped by an insidious cult. Bob takes matters into his own hands and infiltrates the secretive cult to try to save his daughter. With the help of the cult's only female victim escapee, Case Hardin (Maika Monroe), Bob and Case go down the rabbit hole with The Ferryman (Jamie Foxx) to save his daughter and find closure for Case from the cult -- and its maniacal leader (Glusman) -- that took so much away from her.

Revenge is a dish served as too many smeary, overcooked courses in God Is a Bullet, an exploitation slog about a cult kidnapping and a good man’s tumble into hell.

C-

A tighter edit that prioritized the rescue plot over meandering character development probably could have turned “God Is a Bullet” into a fun airplane movie, but Cassavetes’ arthouse ambitions always resurface at inopportune times.

Nick Cassavetes returns with a nihilistic and cathartic revenge movie. [Full review in Spanish]

What's left is a seemingly endless revenge story brought to life by limited actors, while the helmer's obsession with bodily harm wears out its welcome quickly.

I just cannot wrap my head around someone digging this level of misogyny that is two and a half hours long. I felt like I was being punished for being a woman and a critic.

Just too much - hate, gore, sensory overload of violence and misogynism. Hated all 25 minutes I sat through before leaving. Don't waste your

Excellent thriller! Extremely gory, not for the faint of heart. The cast was excellent. After 2 hours and 35 minutes of action and suspense, it hits you - its based on a true story. All of a sudden it becomes a horror flick youll never forget. Highly recommend this movie.

Incredibly well-made film. Although it is violent and hard to watch during many scenes, it is truly authentic to the world that they created. It would be absolutely devastating if the heroes didnt win in the end. A great movie about salvation, family, and the power of love. Can you believe the directors last film was THE NOTEBOOK?! Incredible.
