Despite those flaws, it's an impressive low-budget indie effort, boasting a strong sense of atmosphere that marks its writer-director-actor as a talent to watch.

Los Angeles Times

Although a third act reveal doesn't quite pack the intended punch, "Bullitt County" nevertheless propels its characters in some unanticipated, intriguing directions.

The problem is the script, which isn't up to the level of the filmmaking-much less the acting, by a crackling ensemble of new and established players who deserve to become better known as a result of their work here.

Rated: 2/4

Phoenix Magazine

McCracken's direction is expert, down to some flashy split-screen razzle-dazzle, and the performances... are volatile yet engaging.

Projected Figures

a character dramedy that soon shifts into something more tense and twisty, with its earthy realism offset by unexpected psychological flights of fancy and excursions into the hinterland territories of toxic masculinity.

Bullitt County features some tense moments between characters who have everything to lose, but the overall tone of the picture doesn't end up registering on an emotional level.

Echoing the other comments, the camera work and visuals are better than the script-- but not enough to save what is maybe a 30-minute story being dragged out with monologues and melodrama.

There is a lot happening here. Drinking, money, flashbacks, trespassing, deliverance? If you can ignore some plot holes it is a fun ride. At times it seems like "film school friends try to make a movie" but it is a better film than that.

I'm writing this 20 minutes before the film has finished. It's an oddly compelling/annoying/entertaining/schizophrenic movie. Compelling in the sense that I want to see what happens next; annoying because the tone of the music and dialogue is noticeably inconsistent; entertaining because it's got love and murder and humor and betrayal mixed together - and schizophrenic because this movie doesn't seem to know how it wants to portray itself. Look, my review is trying to be mildly clever, but the truth is that those four things I listed aren't separate aspects of the movie. They're all part of the same, weird thing. This is a very odd film, because the music / atmosphere is often quirky-humorous, but then one friend commits (mild) sexual assault against another. The group has fun together, but then they commit murder in a decidedly un-fun manner. I guess that while I like some of the acting and dialogue, the characters are a bit unbelievable, which is probably a script problem. I dunno.... Check it out. You might find yourself annoyed and mildly entertained like I am right now...

Fascinating psychological study, I could not guess what was coming next or how it would end. Very good movie!

It's not bad considering all things. An indie film this put together is always nice.
