Law enforcement has plans for sociopath Gunter Vogler, a career criminal who is finally collared after a botched jewelry heist. He's given a new identity -- that of a cop he killed -- a badge and a special assignment: Work under cover to take down crime lords Tannhäuser and Racken. With old friends becoming new foes and enemies becoming allies, Vogler is a man on a mission, and the lawmen he's supposed to be cooperating with learn soon enough that now he's more dangerous than ever. The over-the-top action/thriller is created by Alan Spencer ("Sledge Hammer!"), who also serves as executive producer.

Even with a modest budget, the show has the kinetic pacing and cool color palette of a contemporary action-thriller. Go to Full Review Mike Lechevallier Slant Magazine 08/16/2012
2/4
Much like the clownish mask of its iniquitous protagonist, Bullet in the Face demands further reconstructive work to mend its various glaring imperfections. Go to Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 08/15/2012
This happily deranged new IFC series is an over-the-top spoof of a TV crime drama, with a cast of characters who are human cartoons of TV's usual suspects. Go to Full Review Jac Kern Cincinnati CityBeat 09/15/2017
Any good satire, no matter how ridiculous, addresses valid observations about entertainment genres and audiences, and Bullet questions America's sometimes-backwards rules about what is embraced and what is deemed inappropriate in the media. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
