    A dark love story

    MEN CRY BULLETS is certainly one of the most unique films I've seen. And while the subject of abusive relationships is difficult, writer / director, Tamara Hernandaez brilliantly gender bends the roles, having the female character be the older, abuser of the two. By doing this she lends a unique and interesting view to this very sad and difficult subject matter. I think this is a film that is completely worth seeing and will lend a glimpse into this world in a way that has never been seen before.

    Gender reversal, disfunctional relationships...and more

    A look at disfunctional relationships at it's best. A great study of human behavior dealing with repressed memories, mental illness and sexual desire. Very entertaining with a mesmerizing soundtrack. A very well acted movie with an exciting and up and coming cast.

    The horror...the horror...

    The nicest thing I can say about this movie is that Jeri Ryan was terrific as the sanest character in it. She says things like, "My toes make people happy," and, "I think I have a real shot at Miss America," and she comes off as funny for her shallowness. The second nicest thing I can say is that the film is a caricature of how people with serious, unhealthy relationship issues think. The film is intense from beginning to end -- but not in a good way. You can't look away. It's like a train wreck...two trains...full of demented circus clowns. I just can't overstate how bad this movie is. To call this film a freak show would probably not insult the director, but it's not as interesting as it is repulsive. Run, don't walk, as fast as you can.

    This is a great Indie film!

    This is a great Indie film. Honey Lauren is fantastic. Jeri Ryan gives her best performance of her career. Tamara Hernandez is a director to watch. This is a truly honest film from a director that has a lot to say.

    Campy and dark

    This movie is certainly not for everybody. It may be too deep, too shocking, too uncomfortable or maybe too campy for some. Within the dark humor it offers a very modern, original take on sex and violence and gender roles. For those who are willing, this movie has a lot to say with a wicked sense of humor and original, funny dialogue.
