Good movie @Ro_od
I love Sylvester Stallone movies, with that being said, i enjoyed this movie, however it felt as if there was something missing. It was a good movie but it left me with the feeling that it was missing a little something that would make it special. Like i said before, i enjoyed the movie because im a Sylvester Fan but at the same time i felt like this movie was missing alot of things that would make otherwise make it a great movie.
A GLEEFULLY TRASHY ACTION ROMP @Broken Headphones
"Bullet to the Head" is basically all that you'd expect from a Sylvester Stallone film: campy acting, mindless action, and plenty of gratuitous violence. In other words, it's the perfect film for any fan of cheesy '80s blockbusters, but that's not to say a film as silly as this is without its distracting problems here and there. Directed by Walter Hill ("The Warriors," "48 Hrs") and based on a French graphic novel, the story follows Jimmy "Bobo" (Stallone), a tough, no-nonsense New Orleans hitman who forms an unexpected alliance with by-the-book detective Taylor Kwon (Sung Kang) to take down the ruthless killers of their respective partners. Rampant bloodshed and over-the-top fight sequences ensue. From start to finish, this film is jam-packed with a ton of memorable and surprisingly clever references that date way back to Stallone's cinematic past. Whether it's the unapologetically trashy, easily quotable one-liners he utters with a straight face or just his signature macho man persona, there's no doubt that Sly's performance here is an over-the-top embodiment of what made his action movies so ridiculously enjoyable in the first place. And while no one else in the cast comes close to matching the delightfully corny acting of Stallone, they're still interesting in their own way. Sung Kang gives a decent-enough performance as the sidekick to our hero, and the surprisingly strong "buddy" chemistry they share throughout the flick is constantly fun and engaging. But I'd be lying if I didn't say Jason Momoa stole the show for me as the merciless killer who inevitably ends up facing off against Stallone in an epic fight to the death. His scenes alone are so visceral and excessively violent that they're almost enough to forgive Momoa for his regrettable performance in the terrible 2011 remake of "Conan the Barbarian." But I digress. So in the end, even if "Bullet to the Head" does suffer from its bland plot, contrived characters, and uneven pacing more often than not, it's still a perfectly decent guilty pleasure of an action film that stays consistently enjoyable thanks to its big, adrenaline-fueled fight sequences, corny humor, and energetic cast. At the very least, it's worth a one-time rent for any longtime fan of Stallone.
Great fun! @700 Pages
Another guilty pleasure action movie with Stallone, and if you're still looking through his current and new movies for glimpses of his earlier coolness, you won't be disappointed here. It's not going to win any respect or awards, but it was definitely a fun hour and a half.
ONE OF STALLONE'S BEST!!! @SlyStalloneFan
Bullet to the Head??? Yes I agree. The title is not the best. You can ask Sylvester Stallone himself and he will agree on that too. But if you forget about the title, you are in for a SOLID ACTION Packed movie. Stallone gives an incredible performance. It is fun, loud, explosive, sexy and also funny. I consider it one of my favorite Stallone movies and I totally recommend it. Walter Hill does a great job directing the film. Once again Sylvester Stallone has entertained me and thats more than what I can ask for. Thanks Sly!!!!
Great movie!! @Khashi
For any Stallone fan. For those who write these novels for a review you have no life!! It's a movie, go get a job you losers.
