There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The naysayers on this message board seem to have a very limited appetite for unique cinematic voices. Ms. Hernandez has created a bold movie, both highly personal and passionate. She has told a story about domestic violence without resorting to cliches by cleverly switching the familiar gender roles. The result is a funny and audacious romp through a psychodrama wonderland. Who could not like a film that features Jerri Ryan going berserk, murdering her cousin's beloved pet pig and then serving the ham to her for Sundau dinner. Roger Ebert was right- this is a great film!

This is a great Indie film. Honey Lauren is fantastic. Jeri Ryan gives her best performance of her career. Tamara Hernandez is a director to watch. This is a truly honest film from a director that has a lot to say.

MEN CRY BULLETS is certainly one of the most unique films I've seen. And while the subject of abusive relationships is difficult, writer / director, Tamara Hernandaez brilliantly gender bends the roles, having the female character be the older, abuser of the two. By doing this she lends a unique and interesting view to this very sad and difficult subject matter. I think this is a film that is completely worth seeing and will lend a glimpse into this world in a way that has never been seen before.

The nicest thing I can say about this movie is that Jeri Ryan was terrific as the sanest character in it. She says things like, "My toes make people happy," and, "I think I have a real shot at Miss America," and she comes off as funny for her shallowness. The second nicest thing I can say is that the film is a caricature of how people with serious, unhealthy relationship issues think. The film is intense from beginning to end -- but not in a good way. You can't look away. It's like a train wreck...two trains...full of demented circus clowns. I just can't overstate how bad this movie is. To call this film a freak show would probably not insult the director, but it's not as interesting as it is repulsive. Run, don't walk, as fast as you can.
