Watch Love and a Bullet For Free

Powerful

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Ben Ramsey and Kantz co-directed "Love and a Bullet," a stylish romantic action film with an urban twist, in 2002. The film's most essential component is Malik Bishop (Treach, lead rapper for rap group Naughty by Nature), a young professional hit-man in Los Angeles who engages in a would-be forbidden romance with his employer's main squeeze. The drama in the plot comes from the fact that Bishop's latest assignment forces him to question his profession for the first time and reflect on the violent path that his life has taken him. Anyone looking for a deep rumination or moral dilemmas on the life of a hit-man better look elsewhere, say "The Professional" (1994). But Treach makes an interesting and charismatic lead character because he lets us get to know him, like him, and sympathize with the choices he's made and how he's learning to live with the consequences of those decisions. And plus he's a just an all-around bad-ass who must ultimately learn to fend for himself in the film's blood-soaked, action-packed climax. The movie is also pretty funny, too, albeit in a darkly comic fashion. One sequence that will have you laughing out loud is when Bishop and his mentor Buddy (Sam Scarber) lay siege to a house where a federal witness is being held up and they not only succeed in slaying the witness, but also the six federal agents protecting him. All the while, Buddy is complaining about why the job is so messed up because they didn't have time to plan it properly. Other darkly humorous instances abound, but that is by far the funniest in the whole movie. Not a perfect film by any standard, but it does make for a quick 87-minute trip with your brain locked squarely in the "off" position.7/10

This movie was much better than I expected!I thought the story was very smart and original. Some good twists and turns.The action scenes were exciting, original and very, very cool. A bit more gory than I expected.The acting was pretty good. Especially since Treach is a rapper and sometimes there not very good.It was a nice blend of comedy and action. The jokes were very good. It's no wonder it was written and directed by Ben Ramsey, who did The Big Hit.Does anyone else think Treach sounds like Ice T, especially when narrating.Overall I thought it was a funny, exciting, original and very, very cool movie.

"Love and a Bullet" adds nothing really new to the hitman genre but its a fun movie all the same. There are some really funny parts such as how Pretty Nate's crew gets down...but as mentioned before the last twenty minutes are horrible. Like a video game where you have to beat a boss w/ some special capability.Also the whole, "I'm a professional" statements got old quick. Treach like Ice Cube can handle acting and his charisma carries over from music to screen.6/10

What a massive desception this flick is, A movie based around a plot as thick as ice is on a hot-Summer night is usually something you don't want to step on, normally there would be some leverage before the layer breaks but beware step on this and you won't need a peddle you'll be swimming.
