Movie Info

Charles Bronson is out for revenge (and doesn't that sound familiar) in this action drama. Jackie Pruit (Jill Ireland) is the girlfriend of notorious gangster Joe Bomposa (Rod Steiger). When it looks as if Jackie's life is being threatened by Bomposa's goons, the FBI moves in to protect her, in hopes that she'll have incriminating evidence that the Bureau can use against Bomposa in court. Veteran agent Charlie Congers (Bronson) is assigned to watch over Jackie, and while it soon becomes obvious that she knows almost nothing about Bomposa that would be of any use to the FBI, he also falls in love with her. However, Bomposa decides that it would be a lot more convenient to have Jackie out of the way, and he orders her to be executed. Bomposa's henchmen manage to slip through FBI security and murder her, but now they have to answer to the angry and vengeful Congers. Love and Bullets also features Strother Martin, Bradford Dillman, Henry Silva, and Paul Koslo.

  • The Bronson screen presence, used intelligently, can be unsettling and fascinating. So why is it so often ignored or thrown away?

    <div align="justify"><p> <center><b><u>First of all THANKs to my Husband who persuaded me to watch this Movie</center></u> <b>I have never seen Charles Bronson in a role like he played in this Movie. This Movie is more a comedy. It was refreshing to see how my Lubly Homeland looked in 70s. Great Location. The Plot was well...never mind, though it was refreshing to see Charles Bronson playing totally different character . <U>AND BY THE WAY GODAMM PROUD TO BE SWISS. </b></U>
