When a man has lost everything, his thirst for vengeance knows no bounds. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau portrays such a man in Nick Cassavetes’ latest film, God Is a Bullet. After experiencing a devastating loss, Coster-Waldau’s character infiltrates a cult in a relentless pursuit of justice. The movie has recently hit theaters and will soon be available on digital platforms starting July 11. FilmSweep is thrilled to offer an exclusive preview from this intense thriller.
Today’s Featured Video: FilmSweep presents an exclusive clip from God Is a Bullet.
God Is a Bullet, based on the gripping novel by Boston Teran, which draws inspiration from true events, revolves around Bob Hightower (Coster-Waldau), a detective who tragically loses his daughter and ex-wife at the hands of a satanic cult. Overwhelmed by grief, consumed by anger, and frustrated with the inadequate investigation, Hightower decides to take matters into his own hands. He leaves the police force, adopts a new appearance, and infiltrates the cult, determined to bring down its leader, Cyrus (Karl Glusman). To achieve his goal, Hightower must forge an alliance with Case (Maika Monroe), the only female survivor of the cult, who is equally resolute in reclaiming her power.
In the exclusive clip, Hightower and Case find themselves on the road, and Hightower seeks to uncover the truth about Cyrus and his background. However, Case seems reluctant to delve into the subject, preferring to discuss anything else. Eventually, she relents and offers a brief explanation of Cyrus’s transformation. In passing, she makes a comment about “those fanatics who find solace in religion,” a statement that immediately provokes Hightower’s ire. The ensuing conversation showcases their starkly contrasting perspectives on matters of faith and spirituality.

Amidst the dark and gritty themes explored in God Is a Bullet, the film also weaves a thread of lightness and romance, instilling hope in its characters. At first glance, Hightower and Case may appear as an unlikely pair. However, in a previous interview with FilmSweep’s Maggie Lovitt, Coster-Waldau revealed that Hightower “truly believes in love and finds goodness even in the bleakest corners.” He further explained that despite their initial animosity, Hightower and Case eventually establish a connection, as they both yearn for assistance and the opportunity to assist others. They seek connection and recognition amid the nightmarish circumstances, and in doing so, discover a truer version of themselves.
God Is a Bullet boasts an impressive lineup of executive producers, including Santiago Garcia Galvan, Paul Johansson, Sidney Kimmel, Natalie Perrotta, and Jim Steele. Michael Mendelson produced the film for Patriot Pictures, in conjunction with XYZ Films. The stellar cast also features Johansson, Jamie Foxx, Ethan Suplee, January Jones, and Jonathan Tucker.
