David Stratton The Australian Though the screenplay hardly hangs together, both Headey and Worthington acquit themselves well; Vazquez, on the other hand, proves to be an irritating youngster. Rated: 2/5 Jul 1, 2022 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian Headey is never less than watchable, but what a wasted opportunity. Rated: 2/5 May 30, 2022 Full Review Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle Lousy plotting and beyond questionable character motivations bring the story to a constant, grinding halt. Apr 21, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “9 Bullets” can best be described as a movie full of pieces that don’t fit. Rated: 1/5 Sep 26, 2022 Full Review John Townsend Starburst Headey tries her best to smoulder and smirk à la Cersei Lannister, but her efforts become lost in this derivative and dull thriller. Rated: 2/5 Jun 17, 2022 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Fans of the 1980 crime drama Gloria (starring Gena Rowlands in the title role) might be repulsed if they have the misfortune of wasting time watching 9 Bullets, which is a sloppy and pathetic imitation of that classic movie.

Bahad j In my opinion, the movie uses very good camera and audio visual equipment and the crew members and the filmmakers have played their roles very well. I really liked it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review Dave V This is a great movie. Twists and turns keep you guessing. I knew I would like it because the critics didn't like it. Definitely worth watching. A great story about learning to love and open up and redemption. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Marianne Nice thriller feel good yet sad at times film Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/12/23 Full Review Vince G I give rotten tomatoes one Stanford their review of 9 Bullets Lena and sam take this average movie/plot and make it a ( Feel ) Good movie after you watch it and the (kid ) does a great job also Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/09/23 Full Review Ken R 9 Bullets – And not One of Them Alive Another example of what it seems we can expect from wannabe moviemakers (Gigi Gaston) who looks like she grew up watching third-rate movies by trendy low-lives. It can't get much worse than this movie re-tread of several other films, which at least, treated the now overly-familiar theme with more conviction. It's also surprising Sam Worthington accepted this poor excuse for writing --unless of course, he didn't bother to read the script-- from here on, he now risks being labeled Sam Worthless. A scant story about a jaded stripper (dances to Silent Night, how jaded can you get!) taking the child victim of a gangland family murder on a road trip, to find someone to plant him with - is ludicrously fraught with grotty situations and swear-fest, ultra-cheap dialogue. No one comes off in any way well from this trashy entry. These cheap productions made by little-talented moviemakers, simply place a few well-known names in sub-standard material, then pad out scenes with boring pop songs and convoluted editing, substituting for any solid story, then foolishly expect audiences not to be appalled. Take a look at the endless viewer bagging and begin to show them more respect, before losing them altogether. A stinker in every sense. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/23/22 Full Review Stephen C From the title to the ending, nothing made much sense in this movie. It's so bad that you keep watching thinking it can only get better but it doesn't. It's one of those movies where the scenes are so bad you sympathize with the actors who surely know they are creating something terrible.
