Bullet to the Head 2013

In the bustling streets of New Orleans, the narrative kicks off with the lifeless body of a corrupt ex-cop, Hank Greely, igniting a wave of violence and betrayal. At the heart of this chaos is Jimmy Bobo, a merciless hitman, who, alongside his partner, Louis Blanchard, is implicated in Greely’s murder. Their evening of unwinding at a local bar takes a deadly turn when Blanchard becomes an unintended victim in a spray of bullets unleashed by another hitman, Keegan.

Enter Detective Taylor Kwon, a dedicated investigator on a mission to untangle the convoluted circumstances surrounding Greely’s death. Meanwhile, Keegan pays a visit to his superior, Robert Morel, alongside his lawyer, Marcus Baptiste. In a shocking revelation, Baptiste discloses that Greely had attempted to blackmail Morel, handing over incriminating evidence to local mobster Baby Jack. In a gruesome act of vengeance, Keegan takes out Baby Jack and his crew, recovering the damning file on his way out.

As Kwon digs deeper into the case, he encounters Bobo, only to be ambushed by corrupt officers acting on Morel’s orders. In a crucial moment of survival, Kwon finds himself shot, but thanks to Bobo, who intervenes dramatically, he narrowly escapes death. With Kwon’s insider knowledge, they track down Ronnie Earl, the intermediary responsible for hiring Bobo and Blanchard for Morel. A nail-biting confrontation at a Turkish bathhouse ensues, where Bobo’s relentless interrogation ends in triumph.

Tension mounts as Kwon’s actions begin to test Bobo’s trust, culminating in a shocking discovery: Kwon had intentionally tampered with Bobo’s weapon due to suspicions about their partnership. Setting aside their differences, they unite against the common threat of Morel.

Their alliance faces its biggest challenge when they kidnap Baptiste, subjecting him to an intense interrogation at Bobo’s remote boathouse. Under extreme pressure, Baptiste exposes a broad corruption scheme led by Morel, aimed at replacing affordable housing with upscale condominiums. The cold-blooded Keegan is unveiled as Morel’s enforcer, intensifying the stakes.

As the situation spirals further, Kwon finds himself left behind by Bobo, forcing him to seek help from Lieutenant Lebreton, only to uncover that this supposed ally is also under Morel’s thumb. In a breathtaking sequence, Bobo returns to save Kwon just in time.

Morel’s final play is to kidnap Bobo’s daughter, Lisa, bargaining for her life in exchange for the incriminating flash drive. In a furious clash, Keegan unleashes his wrath on Morel before turning his aggression toward Bobo. The ensuing confrontation is a raw display of survival instincts, concluding with Bobo delivering a fatal blow to Keegan, silencing him for good.

As Kwon retrieves the flash drive, Bobo seizes a fleeting chance to enact revenge, cleverly using the moment to harm Kwon and expose the detective’s complicity in placing the blame on him. Six weeks down the line, as their paths cross again, Kwon appears calm yet assertive, revealing that Bobo’s plan to shift blame has ultimately unraveled. Unfazed, Bobo challenges Kwon to a duel of intellect and strength—one that Kwon is eager to engage in, setting the stage for an inevitable confrontation.
