Bullet

Bullet (1996) is a gritty crime drama from director Julien Temple, ready to watch online on iFILM. Butch "Bullet" Stein walks out of prison after eight years and heads straight back to the Brooklyn blocks that broke him.

Mickey Rourke plays Butch as a man wired for self-destruction. His father offers a clean start, one brother never came home in his head from Vietnam, the youngest tags walls with sharp graffiti — and the first thing Butch does on release is shoot up. Then he picks a fight with Tank, a Brooklyn drug lord played by Tupac Shakur. Look for a young Adrien Brody and Michael K. Williams in the mix, plus a very early Peter Dinklage.

Shot by British director Julien Temple, the film arrived not long after Tupac's murder, making it one of his final screen roles. It's raw and jittery, carried by Rourke's burnt-out swagger and a death wish that never lets up. Stream Bullet (1996) online on iFILM.
