Chicago Sun-Times
Writer-director Paul Solet serves up some intricately choreographed and creative action sequences and some gruesomely realistic violence.... Mostly, though, Bullet Head is about the characters and the crackling dialogue, and the first-rate actors giving just the right spin to their lines. - 70
Los Angeles Times
As a perilous dog-and-mouse game ensues, Solet packs his script with tension, dimension and several vivid flashbacks recalling the characters’ seminal encounters with dogs. Cool camerawork too. - 67
Austin Chronicle
Despite featuring emotionally static characters who undergo no personal development and having the structure of basic robbery-and-chase setup, Bullet Head is the kind of action film that throws mindlessness to the dogs. - 63
Movie Nation
It’s the players and their points of view that let Bullet Head score something close to a bulls-eye, even if the shot is fired at easy, close range. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
The film's main draw is its cast, all of whom have seen more illustrious career days but nonetheless can still deliver the goods. - 50
Variety
The result is a film that somehow manages to be fairly watchable, yet nonetheless really needed intervention from the conceptual stage onward. - 40
The New York Times
Is Bullet Head good? In truth, it’s drab, derivative and more than slightly silly, but it’s tough to dislike like a movie that proceeds as if the 1990s cycle of Quentin Tarantino knockoffs never ended and that uses the prospect of gory canine violence in service of loud and persistent pro-dog cheerleading. - 40
Village Voice
A gonzo ten-minute standoff between Adrien Brody and a man-eating pitbull single-handedly justifies the existence of the otherwise uninspired heist thriller Bullet Head.
