In New Orleans, the hit men James Bonomo, a.k.a. Jimmy Bobo, and
Louis Blanchard execute the dirty cop Hank Greely in a hotel room. But they are
betrayed and Louis is stabbed in a bar by the mercenary Keegan while waiting
for the payment of the contract. Meanwhile the Washington D.C. police detective
Taylor Kwon comes to New Orleans to investigate the murder of Greely, who had
stolen evidences from the Police Department. Soon he is shot by two dirty
detectives but Jimmy saves his life. Jimmy brings Taylor to the shop of his
daughter Lisa and she removes the bullet from his shoulder and nurses him.
Taylor and Jimmy form the most unlikely partnership to investigate the crimes
and after contacting the intermediate Ronnie Earl that had hired Jimmy and
Louis, they discover a network of corruption formed by the lawyer Marcus
Baptiste and the entrepreneur Robert Nkomo Morel. Written by

BULLET TO THE HEAD was a pick I made due to my love for
campy action films. I enjoyed this film having an understanding that I wouldn’t
expect too much of it. Yet I felt the story was interesting enough and the
actor portrayals were decent enough. This film was made to have a gritty take on the
relationship of an ex con and a cop and I felt it accomplished that rather
well. So for BULLET TO THE HEAD I give it 3.5 stars of 5.
