My Gun Has Bullets - Summary
In this wickedly funny crime caper, Beverly Hills cop Charlie Willis's life takes an absurd turn when he's shot by elderly TV star Esther Radcliffe during a routine traffic stop. Instead of pursuing justice, he's offered a devil's bargain: forget the shooting and become the star of his own police TV series. What follows is a deliciously satirical romp through Hollywood's bizarre landscape, where reality TV meets actual crime, and Charlie must navigate the treacherous waters of showbiz while dealing with real bullets flying his way.
