With 400 Bullets, Tom Paton confirms his position as a director to watch, bringing us an indie film that can easily sit shoulder to shoulder with larger budget Hollywood efforts.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 2, 2021
Paton tries to bend expectations in little ways, giving what easily could've been a generic thriller some welcome personality.

Unremarkable yet satisfying, the primary motivation for checking out 400 Bullets, the latest siege action film to hit the market, is headliner Jean-Paul Ly.

400 Bullets
By Alan Ng | March 1, 2021
A small military outpost is caught in the middle of a battle of greed and national security in writer/director Tom Paton’s military thriller 400 Bullets . The film opens on a cold, wintery night in Afghanistan as black ops specialist Noah Brandt (Andrew Lee Potts) leads a band of mercenaries-for-hire to intercept and acquire four deadly accurate, and lethal missiles. The hired guns double-cross Brandt, as they have a side deal with some Afghan baddies.
After his partner is killed and fearing he’s next, Brandt escapes with the missile’s navigation pins (also known as the McGuffin). Now on the run, he stumbles upon a British outpost comprised of camouflage netting and connected shipping containers. The unit that occupies the outpost is miles away on maneuvers. Rana Rae (Jean-Paul Ly), a Gurkha soldier, is left to guard the outpost with zero support, spotty internet, and the titular 400 bullets.
Rae comes to the rescue of the injured man. It’s only a matter of time before Brandt’s hunters arrive at the outpost. Now, Brandt and Rae have to defend themselves from an onslaught of weapons dealers and black ops mercenaries with only 400 bullets, so every shot has to count.
400 Bullets is a low-budget action thriller. I need to say this upfront because it would be easy to dismiss the film because of its relatively small scale, no-frills production design, and lack of precise details of a standard military outpost. Sadly, this is where the big studios with deep pockets have the advantage over the small guy. But we’re not here for the accuracy. We’re here for kick-a*s violence.
![movie review 400 bullets](https://cdn-0.filmthreat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/REVIEW-400-Bullets-2.jpg)
“…defend themselves from an onslaught of weapons dealers and black ops mercenaries with only 400 bullets …”
Paton delivers a fast-paced thriller with military-grade weapons. The majority of the action is gunplay, but with the 400-bullet limitation, it also comes in the form of a cat-and-mouse chase, hand-to-hand combat, characters being either tortured or beaten to a bloody pulp. And the director makes it all exciting and fun.
While there’s a lot of cool action, it’s the Rae and Brandt characters that I liked the most. Andrew Lee Potts is your typical military badass, and though he is smart on the battlefield, he finds a way to take down a sizable squad of killers through a divide-and-conquer philosophy. Jean-Paul Ly as Rae is a different story. He’s a guard with minimal yet adequate skills and played like an everyman. He’s also an Asian who doesn’t know martial arts, which is a welcome break from the stereotype. Rae survives on his basic training and his desire to do the right thing while not compromising his morals, which are continuously tested.
Without spoiling how our pair overcomes insurmountable odds, I’ll just say that the protagonists are put literally through the bloody wringer. They are not the Hollywood action stars who survive through over-the-top action stunts and special effects. They are beaten, beaten, and beaten until they win or lose. Maybe the unbelievable part of the film is how they can recover from the abuse they experience. Also, the 400 bullet gimmick is not really counted. There still seems to be a lot of bullets flying, and it only counted when it got down to one last bullet.
400 Bullets is a fun action movie. Yes, it lacks the enormous million-dollar explosions and epic death-defying fight scenes that require massively unaffordable insurance coverage. But for its small-scale production, it still feels professionally produced and offers an exciting thrill ride for a weekend of popcorn and VOD cinema at home.
400 Bullets (2021)

400 bullets.
Directed by Tom Paton
Only one way out.
One cold winter night in Afghanistan is about to get a whole lot worse for Rana Rae, a Gurkha soldier left to guard a British military outpost, when Captain Noah Brandt arrives looking for refuge from a group of rogue special ops and a cell of heavily armed Taliban. The two soldiers must fight for their lives as they attempt to call for backup before the rogue squad, led by the backstabbing Sergeant Bartlett, can hunt them down to retrieve a case of missile guidance chips that Noah intercepted. But Bartlett and his men do not count on Rana, whose ferocious Gurkha training makes him a force to be reckoned with.

Review by HKFanatic ★★
A 2021 release that looks and feels like it was produced about ten years earlier, so on some level "400 Bullets" has the cozy vibes of a Direct-to-DVD action flick you might have rented during the twilight years of Blockbuster Video, even if it rarely rises above the level of "no-budget remake of Peter Berg's 'Lone Survivor'" or "weekend project of a bunch of film school students who really love Metal Gear Solid." After "Jailbreak," I'll watch anything with actor Jean Paul-Ly, but I have to dock this one for weak fight choreography when compared to that film or "Nightshooters."

Review by Steve Hinkle ★★ 2
Honour should always be rewarded 😀
This is my 400th review on the boxd. I was looking for a movie with 400 in the title and I found 400 Bullets. This one was a bit of a doozy, but with weed by my side, my expectations were woozy. Late at night I’m not too choosy. And I’m pretty sure this movie used more than 400 bullets, during the course of its run. And yes, I know the title refers to the protagonists only having 400 bullets to fend off against the antagonists. Which this movie did a good job at keeping the audience updated on how many bullets were remaining after each gun fight. What I meant by more than…

Review by Frump ★★★
I actually thought this one was pretty decent! It's not a masterpiece by any means but I found it to be an effective siege film that used its limited budget and small cast well. It's not original and it doesn't do a whole lot new but it has atmosphere and tension.
A soldier has some microchips for missiles in Afghanistan and the soldiers he is with turn on him in an attempt to steal said chips. He barely escapes and ends up at a small base currently staffed by only two people and they must protect the chips from the enemy. And they only have the titular 400 bullets. It's really basic plot and could be set anywhere with any…

Review by Stein Rutledal ★★½ 1
If you can make through the dull and garish opening 40 minutes you get the Jean Paul Ly relentlessly fighting until he and everyone else is bloody pulp movie that the whole film should have been.
I had a very hard time following the first half, but the second half is rather good actually and lets Ly showcase his skills.
I have no idea why it is called 400 Bullets because Ly never fires a gun, far less 400.

Review by JP Fournier ★★
Very misleading poster. "400 Bullets" is about as generic of an action film plot that you can get. Crooked soldiers set up a scheme to steel gold and fail to kill the one soldier who's to pure to be a part of the crime. This soldier takes refuse in a base camp that's occupied by two other soldiers as they pair up to defend themselves from an onslaught of murderous thieves. The first starts off weak, with poor snow effects, some lousy lighting, and gun battles that do not allow the viewers to understand the geography of the battles. And there's some cheap unnecessary CGI blood effects that were not selling the action too. However, once the in quarter fights…

Connor McDavid with the Oilers. Mike Trout with the Angels. Jean-Paul Ly in 400 Bullets. We are wasting the prime years of all-time greats people!

Review by Dr_Nostromo ★★★
"I think you better hope she tied these ropes well. Because, if I get out of this chair, I'm gonna kill you with it."
An injured soldier with vital equipment takes refuge from mercenaries in a remote outpost. Let the siege begin. This low budget movie does have problems, the scenarios and course of events would only exist in a script with little resemblance to real life and it may hold the record for the number of bullets fired without hitting anything. However, the likable characters had personality, the acting was competent, the dialog had some snap to it and they didn't try to do more than their budget allowed. If you don't take it too seriously and just go with it, it's quite fun.

VOD Review: 400 Bullets
March 2, 2021
Film , Reviews , Top Story
When I first heard the title 400 Bullets , it was easily to imagine that the movie was going to be a Spaghetti Western. Turns out the movie is located far away from the Old West or even the rugged plains of Spain and the backlots of Italy. 400 Bullets takes place on the unforgiving terrain of a remote warzone in Afghanistan. Like any good Spaghetti Western film, 400 Bullets doesn’t bog us down with an intricate plot and dazzling dialogue that rattles like a machine gun. It’s all about building up tension, delivering explosion action, pithy lines and providing plot twists that doesn’t need over explanation to keep your attention glued to the screen. 400 Bullets does this while used a bit more than 400 bullets on a cold snowy night that just gets worse for soldier with the overnight observation shift.
A small military convoy makes its way across the countryside in the middle of the night. Noah Brandt ( Homeless Ashes ‘ Andrew Lee Potts) and his small army crew are escorting a pack of private contractor warriors. They have a seized pile of gold bars and more importantly 4 tactical missiles. While they are being watched from above, they come under fire from Taliban fighters. It’s a bloodbath and Brandt escapes with the firing keys necessary to make the missiles work. He strikes out to find a spartan British operating base that is mostly plywood and shipping containers. There’s only two people watching the place at this time including Rana Rae ( Artemis Fowl ‘s Jean-Paul Ly). He’s stuck with issues with the satellite internet hook up and the phone is bad too because of the mountains around the base. He’s taken back when Brandt arrive and the two men planning to go track down the Taliban and rescue those ambushed. Except the Taliban track them down at the base. Things get worse when Brandt learns what really went down during the ambush.
400 Bullets doesn’t get too deep into the nature of the Afghanistan war. This is all about kill or be killed. Although in this case it’s Cut Throats or be sliced open. This is a rather intimate military film that is all about fighters with guns, knives and fists in the middle of nowhere. The fights have impact as they bloody up every inch of the small operating base that’s cargo containers and raw lumber. Potts and Ly make a good tag team as they are forced to survive against everything. At only 90 minutes, the film does not drag. Writer-Director Tom Paton and his crew keeps things popping like the automatic rifle fire that dominates the soundtrack.
400 Bullets arrives on a variety of formats on March 2. First there’s a collectible Blu-ray™ and DVD release with special bonus content, including commentary with writer/director Tom Paton and behind-the-scenes featurette. The Blu-ray is for sale at Walmart and other fine online retailers. The movie is also available through OnDemand and Digital on March 2.

‘400 Bullets’ Review
Stars: Andrew Lee Potts, Jean Paul Ly, James Warren, Steven Blades, Spencer Collings | Written and Directed by Tom Paton
It seems like just 57 days ago that I was writing my review of G-Loc , starring the ever so awesome Casper Van Dien (who I got to meet on set by the way, so we are pretty much best friends now) and I wondered for the most briefest of moments how long it would be before Paton was back on set. Turns out that ship had sailed and 400 Bullets was coming out! After making the move from the potato fields to an actual physical soundstage with Goldfinch Studios, Tom and his DOP (and soulmate) George Burt decided to put bricks and mortar to the relationship that had been building with producer Steve Mosley as they built their own studio.
We have seen this team tackle post apocalyptic, vampires, elder gods, a timey-wimey staircase and space colonization… So I guess it was high time we added some all out butt-kicking action to the repertoire with 400 Bullets .
Noah Brandt (Andrew Lee Potts) is tagging along with a bunch of Army Black-Ops soldiers, the mission is to transport some serious weaponry and computer guidance chips through a Taliban infested region of Northern Afghanistan. When the convoy is attacked Noah is shot and fatally wounded but manages to find safety in a lightly manned outpost where he finds Rana Rae (Jean Paul Ly) a mild mannered kickass Ghurka. Now the Two men must fend off all attackers as time is running out and they begin realize that the Taliban are not the only incoming threat.
Well it is about time we got an all out balls-to-the-wall action film from this director and what better way to do this than bring in one of the best up and coming martial arts/action movie talents out there – Jean Paul Ly. No doubt you will have seen my review of Nightshooters where he super-impressed the hell out of me, then I caught Jailbreak on Netflix and it was fairly obvious we are dealing with a new action star.
Pairing him up with Andrew Lee Potts, who at this point has pretty much done it all, is a stroke of genius for me because Potts is the name and rightly so drives the film forward but Ly is the unassuming star that propels it. The relationship and chemistry built between the two over the 90-minute runtime is undeniable and harkens back to some of the 80s/90s mismatched buddy movies; of course it also helps when you have natural flowing dialogue written by a Joss Whedon fan. Throw in some very well cast supporting roles and you’re on to a winner.
As a fan of Guy Richie, I recognized James Warren as one of those hard men in hard man roles, which is fine I guess but for me this was a role that Warren was able to run with and not only show the hard man villain side but he has some really cool villainous dialogue and just gets to be a bit of a sh*tbag (who doesn’t love that). I hope this is a gateway into more prominent roles for this man.
The folks behind 400 Bullets are a team I have been following for a while now and while I loved seeing them go a bit bigger with G-Loc it was great to see them dial it back for 400 Bullets and really concentrate on doing what they do best, while honing some new skills. The stunts and fight choregraphy for this movie are impeccable and the final showdown is absolutely gorgeous. While it may not go as long or be as fluid as The Raid, the hits land just as hard and the moves look just as sexy. You can tell all three of our main guys are throwing hands and I was into it.
There is not a lot else I can say here other than it’s great to see an accomplished flick such as 400 Bullets coming from a group of British film makers. George Burt’s cinematography is better than ever, as he treats us to some outside of the box gnarly angles that immerse you right in the thick of it. Darren Le Fevre and Spencer Collings stunt work and choregraphy just keeps getting better and better as they solidify their partnership; and here they have utilised Jean Paul Ly in a beautiful slow build to a brutal crescendo to great effect. Then there is Max Sweiry with that sexy score… it’s safe to say Sweiry always pulls it out the bag!
I do feel like I just gush over Paton’s movies but truthfully there aren’t many directors at this level that are able to wear as many hats as this guy does and still smash it. There is a lot less dialogue here than I have come to expect from the man, he certainly lets the action do the talking this time around. I will admit when I looked at the cast list I was a bit miffed not to see the usual ragtags, but here we have further proof this director knows how to cast and how to get the best out of that cast.
I don’t know if this is my new favourite “Tom Paton Universe” movie, to be honest I need to watch it again but it is a huge recommend and anyone who loves some solid martial arts action with an accompanying solid story needs to check out 400 Bullets as soon as possible. Independent British cinema is steam rolling its way ahead and this Ddirector is one of the guys at its forefront.

400 Bullets (2021) – Film Review
Director: Tom Paton Cast: Jean Paul Ly, Andrew Lee Potts, James Warren Certificate: Not Rated
By Roger Crow
Two soldiers in Afghanistan face off against a group of rogue special ops and a cell of heavily armed Taliban. That’s the premise for the latest action adventure from Tom Paton.
I’ve got a lot of time for the guy who brought us sci-fi thriller The Ascent , and Yorkshire-made sci-fi offering G-Loc . With a modest budget and small cast, he usually manages to craft taut thrillers which often pack that all important sucker punch.
His latest is a typically lean, mean thriller. It largely takes place at a base with dodgy wifi and a small band of soldiers who spend a lot of time hitting each other with obligatory scenes of close combat action. It’s well put together, and Tom Paton makes the most of his limited resources to craft a modest but effective crowd-pleaser which genre fans should like.
“Fine performance”
Andrew Lee Potts is rather good as the heroic Noah Brandt, but as he’s been in the business for more than 30 years, there’s little wonder he looks so at home in front of the camera. A good turn too from Jean-Paul Ly as his fellow protagonist. You might not know the name, but he’s one of the best stunt performers in the business, having worked on countless high profile action films, such as the upcoming Dr Strange sequel, and The Batman .
And there’s a fine performance from James Warren as the guy who generates a lot of the drama inbetween the punches.
So while 400 Bullets is not the most unique action thriller out there, the script rings true and it’s hard not to feel for the heroes, especially as they spend so much time having to reboot their hub when the wifi goes down.
Tom Paton, who also edited the movie, ensures no scene outstays their welcome, and at a little under 90 minutes, it’s just the right length.

400 Bullets
- 400 BULLETS is an edge-of-your-seat Military Action story about what it means to fight for honor instead of profit. The film packs gun battles, epic hand-to-hand fight sequences and witty dialogue into its 90 minute run time.
- A group of mercenaries intercept and acquire four missiles on a cold, snowy night in Afghanistan. Double-crossed, Black Ops specialist Noah Brandt escapes with the navigation pins. On the run and injured, he stumbles upon a British outpost of shipping containers and netting. The unit that occupies the outpost is out on a mission, with only two soldiers and 400 bullets left to defend the compound. — Paul M. N. Haakonsen

The Brutalist Is Half Of A Great Movie
![movie review 400 bullets Portrait of Alison Willmore](https://pyxis.nymag.com/v1/imgs/989/251/454ac3b8e86c62d4e4661af333aebac0ca-critics-portraits-0001-AllisonWilmoreFIN.2x.rsquare.w168.jpg)
If you told me that Brady Corbet possessed the ability to walk on water, repel bullets, or phase through walls, I’d believe it. To make a movie like The Brutalist requires such a superhuman level of self-confidence that it might as well be accompanied by other preternatural powers. The Brutalist spans 33 years on screen and over three and a half hours of runtime, including a 15-minute intermission at its midpoint. It’s the first film in decades to be fully shot in VistaVision, and at the Venice Film Festival , where it had its premiere, it was projected on 70mm. It’s a sweeping work about a Hungarian Jewish immigrant and diasporic trauma in the wake of World War II from a filmmaker who’s not himself Jewish, but who hurls himself into details of his main character’s journey from a ravaged Europe to a booming Pennsylvania with such specificity that you’ll find yourself googling whether this is another Tár situation, or whether László Tóth was a real person (he wasn’t). It’s impossible not to be impressed by the sheer audacity of The Brutalist ’s existence, even if the finished product doesn’t end up matching its ambitions. Set aside all its film geek specs, and it still feels willed into existence to be the kind of movie that isn’t made anymore, a grand American saga that’s openly intent on telling a big story with big ideas. And at its center is Adrien Brody, doing better work than he’s done in years or possibly ever as László, who in 1947 washes up in Philadelphia at the doorstep of a cousin, Attila (Alessandro Nivola), sure he’s lost everything.
Brody won an Oscar for The Pianist , the movie that served as his breakthrough, and despite working steadily since (and becoming a regular in Wes Anderson’s ensembles), never reached that level of work again. But he’s remarkable in The Brutalist , in a way that makes you feel like you’re seeing him afresh, with his open parenthesis of a body and that handsome, hangdog face that’s always ruefully giving away a little more than his characters want. We only gradually learn what a big deal László was in Budapest before the war, but Brody offers glimpses of the respected architect the man used to be in his blunt assessment of the furniture Attila sells in his store, in the care he takes when crafting his own designs, and in his indifference to anyone who doesn’t appreciate the value of his work. László has lost the love of his life, Erzsébet (Felicity Jones) — not to death, as he initially thought, but to the snarls of bureaucracy and legal whims that keep his wife stuck at the Austrian border with his niece Zsófia (Raffey Cassidy), who’s so traumatized by what she went through that she’s stopped speaking. Without her, he’s half a ghost, living in storage closets and shoveling coal and only sparking to life when his friend, Gordon (Isaach De Bankolé), takes him to a jazz club, or when he and Attila get a commission to rework the library of a wealthy industrialist named Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce), a job that will alter the course of László’s life for years to come.
The Brutalist is a movie about desperation and anguish, though its willingness to keep that element below the surface of all of its dramas is gratifying. László and Attila and Erzsébet don’t discuss what they went through, though it informs everything about their sometimes erratic, electrified behavior — like the way Attila has shed all traces of his Jewishness, or how Erzsébet, when she eventually reunites with her husband, requests sex from him in a way that suggests they should be able to use it as a shortcut to sealing up their psychic wounds. László himself is a man in pieces who can barely pretend to hold himself together, and he teeters on the edge of falling apart so often in the film’s first half that it feels like a miracle when he slips into the blustering Harrison’s good graces, and gets chosen to design a community center on a hill in Doylestown. Harrison is a self-made man who collects first editions and madeira like he can rack up a high score in being cultured — Pierce is menacing and funny in the role, especially when Harrison informs László, more than once, that he finds their conversations “intellectually stimulating.” Having Harrison as a patron is like holding a tiger by the tail, but managing him and his slimy little shit of a son Harry (Joe Alwyn) offers László a chance to not just return to architecture, but to be the author of a wildly ambitious project that, if he can fend off all other forces, will represent a vision that is purely his.
It fits that The Brutalist is about architectural auteurism. Corbet, who writes all of his scripts with his wife, fellow filmmaker Mona Fastvold, is a former actor who got his start as a teenager on features like Thirteen and Mysterious Skin before moving into directing, and each of his now three features is an individual campaign in establishing his seriousness (and self-seriousness) as a filmmaker and laying out his as a major creative voice. He has a particular interest in placing his characters against a backdrop of tumultuous historical moments. His directorial debut, 2015’s The Childhood of a Leader , depicted the coming-of-age of a future dictator in post-World War I France, while his caustic Natalie Portman-lead pop star drama Vox Lux spanned a Columbine-like school shooting and September 11. This desire to ground his films in the weight of momentous events has previously struck me as hopelessly thirsty, in the same way that his critiques of American culture have felt a little glib. The Brutalist is the first feature of his that’s actually lead by his characters rather than pinning those characters onto major milestones like display butterflies, and even then, it loses its focus by the end, rushing toward a conclusion that’s presented as a hasty reveal rather than something you really want the movie to dwell on. Still, there’s half a great movie here, and in the high ceilings of László’s community center, the swell of the score, and those wide shots of columns going up on a green hillside, there’s plenty of room to grow.

![movie review 400 bullets Insider Today](https://www.businessinsider.com/public/assets/BI/US/logos/newsletters/insider-today-logo.png)
I've been a Sam's Club member on and off for several years now, but I've mainly used my membership for groceries and occasional auto services. Being a member has many benefits, but one of the less obvious perks is competitive rates for pet insurance.
In 2019, we adopted our dog from a rescue shelter. She was around 2½ years old then and as joyful as can be, so we kept her adopted name, Joy. Joy is full of energy, always wants to cuddle, and never gave us any health scares until recently.
Earlier this year, I came back home from running errands on a Saturday to find Joy making a strange, hoarse, coughing noise. We took her to the vet, and while I was relieved she was OK, the almost $400 bill shocked me.
That's when I decided to look into pet insurance so I could make sure my dog could receive the best care and I'd consider it a bonus if I could be financially savvy about it.
Finding out about Pets Best
No one in my family had ever gotten pet insurance for their pets, or at least they didn't talk about it. A relative told me about a credit card specifically geared toward pet expenses, but I didn't really want to get another credit card just for pet care expenses.
A few years ago, I watched one of my relative's dogs go through a lot of health issues that required certain medications regularly. The costs really added up, but they managed to pay for everyone one way or another. Witnessing this made me realize that I wanted to insure my pets sooner rather than later since most insurance companies will cover diagnostic tests and accidents but not pre-existing conditions.
During my research, I found that Sam's Club members get a 10% discount through Pets Best . Pets Best is a leading pet insurance provider that offers coverage for accidents, illnesses, and routine coverage.
What I get with my coverage
I didn't just consider Pets Best based on the discount for being a Sam's Club member. A few things initially stood out to me like:
- Pets Best being accepted at any veterinary clinic across the U.S.
- Direct pay options to your vet so you don't have to handle those payments when getting reimbursed
- No age limits for pets
- Discounts for additional pets you insure
- Optional wellness coverage options for routine exams
First, I grabbed a quote and shopped around a bit. Pets Best offered me an accident-only coverage plan for $9 a month with a $10,000 annual limit, a $250 deductible, and 90% reimbursement.
They also offered a Plus plan for accidents and illnesses, which included coverage for lab tests, medication, prescriptions, and the exam fee associated with a diagnosis of an accident or illness.
The Elite plan for accidents and illnesses offers the highest coverage, including rehabilitative, acupuncture, and chiropractic coverage. For my personal quote, this was just a few cents more per month.
The waiting period for coverage to kick in is three days for accidents and 14 days for illnesses. The quotes I received are well below the rates offered by many of the best cheap pet insurance companies .
I'm glad to have peace of mind
I love an easy process that doesn't require extensive paperwork or phone calls. Getting Joy insured was really simple and basically took seconds. Once I got my quote, Pets Best made it easy for me to see what was and wasn't covered. Then, I was prompted to an agreement page and entered my card information.
Once my payment for the first month was processed, I received a full copy of my policy via email. Getting my dog insured was something I should have done a long time ago, but I'm thankful for options that simplify the process.
Now, we just plan to save the $250 deductible amount in a high-yield savings account so that it's ready just in case.
Pet accidents can cost thousands of dollars, and unfortunately, there are a lot of stray dogs and cats in my area, so while I do my best to keep Joy safe and healthy, some things are just outside my control. That's where pet insurance can come in handy. Having this safety net to fall back on gives me so much peace of mind.

Rated: B Mar 2, 2021 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat 400 Bullets is a fun action movie. Rated: 7.5/10 Mar 2, 2021 Full Review Ed Travis ...
400 Bullets is a fun action movie. Full Review | Original Score: 7.5/10 | Mar 2, 2021 Ed Travis Cinapse
And plotwise, 400 Bullets is about as straight as it gets. Our two heroes are betrayed, outnumbered and outgunned. The radio doesn't work and even if it did, help is a long way away. It's about as standard a scenario as it gets, really. It's also perfect for a straight-to-home video film.
He makes it to an outpost manned by Jean-Paul Ly because Tony Jaa is too expensive and Dolph is too old. This is an action film with a lot of fighting. The keep the dialogue light to prevent the film from getting dragged down. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. 4/10.
400 Bullets: Directed by Tom Paton. With Jean-Paul Ly, Andrew Lee Potts, James Warren, Adesuwa Oni. 400 BULLETS is an edge-of-your-seat Military Action story about what it means to fight for honor instead of profit. The film packs gun battles, epic hand-to-hand fight sequences and witty dialogue into its 90 minute run time.
400 Bullets is a fun action movie. Yes, it lacks the enormous million-dollar explosions and epic death-defying fight scenes that require massively unaffordable insurance coverage. But for its small-scale production, it still feels professionally produced and offers an exciting thrill ride for a weekend of popcorn and VOD cinema at home.
400 Bullets - Metacritic. Summary One cold winter night in Afghanistan is about to get a whole lot worse for Rana Rae (Jean-Paul Ly), a Gurkha soldier left to guard a British military outpost, when Captain Noah Brandt (Andrew Lee Potts) arrives looking for refuge from a group of rogue special ops and a cell of heavily armed Taliban. The two ...
This is my 400th review on the boxd. I was looking for a movie with 400 in the title and I found 400 Bullets. This one was a bit of a doozy, but with weed by my side, my expectations were woozy. Late at night I'm not too choosy. And I'm pretty sure this movie used more than 400 bullets, during the course of its run.

The folks behind 400 Bullets are a team I have been following for a while now and while I loved seeing them go a bit bigger with G-Loc it was great to see them dial it back for 400 Bullets and really concentrate on doing what they do best, while honing some new skills. The stunts and fight choregraphy for this movie are impeccable and the final ...

Stars: Andrew Lee Potts, Jean Paul Ly, James Warren, Steven Blades, Spencer Collings | Written and Directed by Tom Paton It seems like just 57 days ago that I was writing my review of G-Loc, starring the ever so awesome Casper Van Dien and I wondered for the most briefest of moments how long it would be before Paton was back on set. Turns out that ship had sailed and 400 Bullets was coming out!
