Bullet is a 1996 action crime drama starring Tupac Shakur, Mickey Rourke and Adrien Brody. The screenplay was written by Mickey Rourke and directed by Julien Temple. The film was released a few months after Tupac's murder in September 1996.

Bullet is the story of what happens when Butch Stein (Bullet, Mickey Rourke) leaves prison and attempts to go on with his life. The minute Bullet is out he is straight back to his old tricks as he deals with some drug dealers and gets back on the drugs. His enemy Tank (Tupak Shakur) is also on the look out for Bullet for the simple reason that Bullet took his eye and now he wants him dead. Bullet goes back home to his disfunctional family and his mentally ill brother Lewis. Bullet must battle not only Tank in this movie but his own inner demons as well. This movie is moody and atmospheric and also starkly realistic.
