The overall aesthetic of Valeri Milev’s Bullets of Justice (2019) seems to be gaining popularity with movies like Turbo Kid (2015) and Kung Fury (2015)—a sort of 8-Bit, dirty-dystopian chic. I have not seen Milev’s other films yet, so I’m not sure how they compare but I can only guess Bullets of Justice is a horse of a different color. It’s like if Star Wars (1977), Machete (2013) and Spun (2002) were pureed in a filthy blender with every 80s action movie trope and topped with the Borderlands videogame series. It really is something. Even summarizing the plot, I feel like I mixed medication. During the third world war, the government creates a race of pig-spliced super-soldiers that, twenty-five years later, betray their human overlords, take their place at the top of the food chain and start hunting humans for meat. When Kicks texted me that this looked right up my alley, she was not lying. But, to be honest, it really made me question my alley.
