Review of Bullhead

Bullhead (2011)
6/10
compelling character
23 June 2016
Jacky Vanmarsenille is a muscle-bound cattle farmer. He injects illegal hormones into his cattle and into himself. He deals with the underworld of illegal meats and illegal hormones. A cop investigating illegal hormones is killed by the meat mafia. A stolen car with a bullet hole is fixed up by two mechanics. Jacky is tangentially connected to the incident. He is obsessed with Lucia Schepers who is the basis of a childhood trauma 20 years earlier.

The disjointed nature of the story makes it difficult to maintain the tension. The flow is constantly disrupted. The childhood incident is shocking and it makes the characters more compelling. It would be helpful to be clearer and more straight forward in the storytelling. He's a compelling character but the story is too disjointed.
