I also was mainly interested in this film for the rare opportunity to see Brigitte Bardot's sister Mijanou in action; she is cute, but she doesn't have her sister's screen presence or mystique by any means. Besides, her role is pretty small. Apart from her, "A Bullet In The Barrel" is a disjointed crime drama that is so forgettable you are forgetting parts of it before the film is even over! The male lead is Roger Hanin, an actor I personally think is best suited for supporting roles; he was also the lead in a couple of Claude Chabrol spy movies made a few years later, and he didn't quite cut it there, either. And just when you think the film may finally go somewhere....it just ends, very abruptly. *1/2 out of 4.
