Bull is a film that packs a punch, but it sometimes feels like it’s trying too hard to be gritty and edgy. The premise is solid: a mob enforcer seeking revenge after years away from home.

Show more >> Bull is a film that packs a punch, but it sometimes feels like it’s trying too hard to be gritty and edgy. The premise is solid: a mob enforcer seeking revenge after years away from home. However, I found the pacing uneven, with some scenes dragging while others rushed through key emotional beats. The performances are strong, particularly from the lead, who captures the pain and fury of his character well. There are moments of real tension, but the film could have benefited from deeper character development, especially in its supporting roles. The ending leaves a lot to be desired, feeling more like a setup for a sequel than a satisfying conclusion. Overall, Bull is an engaging watch, but it might not resonate with everyone looking for a coherent narrative. Show less
