“Ballistic” (*1/2 out of four) was a slovenly pulp action melodrama about a homeless veteran (David Lamont) who discovers that the man (James Jaysen Bryhan) who murdered his sister years earlier has been released from prison earlier than expected sending him into a blackout rage and downward spiral where revenge is the only thing on his mind. Potentially scathing story of vengeance and social commentary on our weak justice system is defeated by rambling pace and weak script and filmmaking. Film deserves praise for being made for only $4,000 but is hardly anything to go “ballistic” over.
