How many bullets does it take to rewrite the past?

99 Bullets (2022) is a hard-hitting indie action-thriller that doesn’t waste a single shot. Raw, relentless, and dripping with noir attitude, the film follows a former assassin with a broken code, a haunted past—and exactly 99 bullets left to settle the score.

The Premise: Redemption by Firepower

After vanishing from the underworld for years, Vincent Ryker returns when the woman he once loved becomes collateral in a ruthless criminal conspiracy. With nothing to lose and a hit list carved into his mind, he dusts off his old gear and picks up where he left off—with a plan, a target list, and a single rule:

No more than 99 bullets.

As he tracks down corrupt politicians, double-crossing crime bosses, and former allies turned enemies, each bullet becomes a message—every shot, a choice. But as the body count rises, so does the weight of what vengeance costs.

Why 99 Bullets Leaves a Mark

🔫 Stylized violence, gritty realism – The action is brutal and close-quarters, often more about survival than spectacle. No flashy heroism—just raw execution.

🎯 A literal countdown mechanic – The film keeps track of every bullet used on screen, adding tension and raising the stakes with each confrontation. Every shot matters.

🧱 Tight pacing, minimal fluff – With a runtime under 100 minutes, the film moves like its protagonist—fast, focused, and deadly.
