Jean-Claude Van Damme and Joe Flanigan lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2012. The plot mechanics of 6 Bullets never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Watch Jean-Claude Van Damme work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.
