	Media	Author	Review
		Justin Chang Variety	"A ponderous, incoherent horror mishmash that turns King's short story into utter nonsense"
		Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"Falls short of its source."
		Chuck Wilson LA Weekly	"Mick Garris has a real feeling for the horror master's melancholy worldview - love is loss - but he's too reverent toward the original story"
		Los Angeles Times	"The movie is so glum and flat-footed there's no reason to care."
		Maitland McDonagh TV Guide	"The 'Bullet' is an amusement-park roller coaster, and the title is a ham-fisted metaphor for facing your fears."
