Adapted from the author’s 1999 debut novel, “God Is A Bullet” is the first screen translation of a work by one Boston Teran, a prolific but pseudononymous scribe of popular page-turners. Those tome…
pursuing the cult of devil-worshipping scumbags who’ve kidnapped his daughter, are not exactly dull. But they are rather ludicrous, without being much fun. It’s hard not to imagine this overlong, often cartoonish bloodbath making more sense as a 1970s drive-in flick, or a direct-to-video potboiler from the ’80s era of “Satanic panic” — either way, at greatly reduced length.
Inevitably they do attract the attention of the really bad guys, led by Karl Glusman’s Cyrus. Ethan Suplee, Brandon Sexton III and Gina Cassavetes play other leering members of this freakazoid squad, whose precise occult beliefs are never specified. But as if the target audience were Pizzagate adherents, it is taken for granted that such interests would naturally dovetail with raping, torturing and murdering children for “death rituals,” as well as terminating anyone who gets in the way.
We know this because Bob, who describes his turf as “a small Christian community,” keeps talking about faith and God all the time. This is usually countered by perpetually potty-mouthed Case dropping some nihilistic cliché, her big philosophical moment involving the titular insight.
Not so long ago, one might well have assumed this would get laughed off as overheated nonsense, but now it seems a bit reckless. The “alternative fact” ambiance is underlined by prominent “Based on a true story” billing — even though the final credits also include a hella-long disclaimer strongly denying all resemblance to actual events, people, locales, or anything else on real-world Earth.
