When a parent calls you on the phone and starts talking about “that emergency escape plan we’ve been practicing,” it’s time to get out of the house. The single most exciting moment in the “9 Bullets” trailer, in a cheesy action movie sort of way, comes when we see Barbara Hershey say “Not today” while working a pump-action shotgun. 

As Mary Magdalene, Hershey lured Jesus off the cross in “The Last Temptation of Christ.” Even if she, Headey, Worthington, and company can’t lure you out to the theater for “9 Bullets,” you’ll still have the option of watching them in the comfort of your own home, as the movie will also be available on-demand the same day.

Here’s the official synopsis for “9 Bullets” from Screen Media:

A former burlesque dancer turned author (Lena Headey) discovers a second chance at life and redemption when she risks everything to rescue her young neighbor after he witnesses his parents’ murder. Now on the run from the local crime boss (Sam Worthington), who happens to be her longtime ex, she makes a desperate attempt to get the boy to safety.

“9 Bullets” is in theaters and on-demand starting Friday, April 22, 2022.
