Love and a Bullet
Love and a Bullethas a sly satirical tone that lifts it above the  common herd of would-be Quentin Tarantino movies. Rap star Treach plays  Bishop, a hit man who declares, "The world is full of people that, quite  frankly, we all could do without." But his rationalizations start to fall  apart when he's assigned to kill a woman who, in his eyes, deserves to  live. Plus, he suspects that his boss--who runs an elite team of  assassins--may have killed Bishop's own lover, a beautiful government  agent. Naturally it's all building up to a typical spectacle of  over-the-top violence with some gratuitous skin along the way (including  full-frontal nudity from the very buff leading man), but what makesLove and a Bulletwork is that the filmmakers use its absurd reality  to make sneaky comments about race relations and job satisfaction.--Bret Fetzer
