Bullet in the Face, Trailer
IFC's new miniseries, Bullet in the Face revolves around Gunter Vogler, a criminal sociopath who assumes the identity of a cop he shot to take down the city’s crime lords (Eddie Izzard and Eric Roberts). Suffice to say that nuts-and-bolts summary doesn't come close to describing this mash-up of graphic novels and black comedy that revels in Dexter-style blood letting. We're thinking Police Squad meets Reservoir Dogs. In any case, it seems like the perfect madcap vehicle for Izzard. IFC has Bullet in the Face running on consecutive nights, Thursday and Friday, August 16 and 17, 10 p.m. ET. See Bianculli's Best Bets for additional details. —EG
