“Bullitt County” (*1/2 out of four) was a haphazard melodrama set in 1977 about four friends (Mike C. Nelson, Jenni Melear, David McCracken, and Napoleon Ryan) who reunite for a wild bachelor party to search for buried Prohibition money along the Kentucky Bluegrass Bourbon Trail but soon find themselves torn apart at the seams by greed, corruption, and murder. Seems aimless at first but then meanders into an amateurish pastiche of “Reservoir Dogs” and (in its final scenes) “The Deer Hunter” yet it still fires all blanks. Even the beautiful Kentucky scenery is drably filmed. Co-star McCracken also wrote and directed.
