Bullet to the Head

by stevendbeard

This is a good old fashioned action movie , directed by Walter Hill , a good old fashioned action movie director [he directed The Warriors , 48 Hrs , Red Heat , Another 48 Hrs] starring a good old fashioned action star [Sylvester] . Sylvestor is 66 years old and looks like he is in fantastic shape .
Sylvester plays a New Orleans hitman that meets Sung , a Washington D.C. detective , whenever they are both looking for the same man , Adewale [It seems they have some personal business with him] . This is kind of like those old buddy cop movies , only it's a hitman and a cop . Christian plays a high priced attorney and Jason is a tough enforcer [they both work for Adewale] and in case you were wondering , the title of the movie comes into play , quite often . In a good action movie , you need a good , tough bad guy for the hero to fight and you definitely have that here , with Jason .

Hard to like a movie in which you don't like anyone!

by kathleencharles

Wanted to like this movie, but when you don't care about any of the main characters...it's impossible. Stallone's stilted, monosyllabic dialog, a dumb cop, a daughter who can't act her way out of a bag, combined with over the top gratuitous violence makes for one disappointing movie experience. I could have seen a variety of other action movies, but all of them had less than stellar reviews. This one was the better choice of the bunch according to those reviews. Wish I'd just gone to have a nice lunch!

Very good movie, entertaining

by coder01

If this is your genre this movie is definitely entertaining.

Not terrifically violent, but that's ok. Good suspense, pretty good story line.
Sylvester is getting a bit old to be the action hero, however he played his character well and it was believable.

This was worth the price to see in the theater.

Classic Stallone!

by Movie_Buff_86

This is just another typical Stallone movie, but that is not a bad thing. I enjoyed this movie a lot and it is a You know what to expect when walking into the movie theatre, when you are watching a movie with Stallone. This movie has a hitman and a cop go up against thugs who have killed their partners. They are ruthless and will stop at nothing to get what they want, unless Stallone does something about it. Go see it, but it def. is not for kids. Too much swearing and blood. That is why it is rated R. Stallone is at it again and he did not dissapoint. I was entertained for the 90 minutes and he is still one of the best action stars out there even at his age. GO SEE IT. Everybody loves a good afternoon full of blood and guns!

Good action attitude flick. Sly still has the bricks!

by

Just went and saw Bullet To The Head. Just me and a friend. This movie is NOT for kids. Extremely graphic. Ok.. two things about Sly, the man is hard as rock even at his considerable age, and second, his acting hasn't improved since Rocky! But I enjoyed it despite his pushing of Bullet Whiskey which tastes nasty. All that said, in the action department it didn't disappoint; very bloody, a lot of bad guy with the code of ethics stuff. Definitely a good guy flick, and honestly I don't think any man can look at Stallone and not be inspired to put in some time at the gym.

Typical Stallone Action

by hairydawg78

Stallone is one of if not the best action movie star of all time. He is a freak of a man whether its all real or artificial I don't know but the man doesn't look like a typical 60 something.
If your looking for Shakespeare keep looking but if you want to turn off your brain and just sit and enjoy an action movie with lots of violence, sexy naked women, and cool one liners then this is your movie. At least it isn't a comic. All hollywood can make is romantic comedies and comic book movies so its nice that Stallone gives us another option to waste our money. Also whats the point of paying 10-12 dollars to see a movie with out some pounding rock and stuff. If I want to watch a more complicated movie I'll watch it in the comfort of my home for a lot less money.

raw, gritty, action packed - a dark big easy caper

by wonder_chimp

Bullet to the Head does not offer anything refined but it delivered the basics and was entertaining to watch. The action sequences are raw and violent. Expect a fair amount of graphic violence and gore. Stallone's character was interesting and he did a good enough job. It was like a really dark big easy caper. Good cop and bad coper. Good cop is a played by the actual cop begrudgingly working with Stallone who is the bad cop. Note, Stallone is not a copy in the movie just a really no bs hardened hit man with his own sense of morality. They just end up working together it felt that way. Director Walter Hill went back to his roots on this. Some parts reminded me of the dark and survivalist sequences in The Warriors.

Bullet to the Head

by s_deltoro

I like to say the movie was very well done I never seen Stallone in such a comdey guy he did well and so did cast of actors & actress I would like to see a sqeul if there is ever one but this time he gose where the agent is from on his play ground see what happen then.

The sory line was really great from what usally see of Stallone but all turn out so well even my friend said he would go bak an see again with me. Sometime when have something this great just go along with it because it works in ways that you want to again to see if yoy miss anything.

Great job on the movie hope to see him something as funny and action at same time again.

Sincerely

Saul Del Toro

The Trailers Looked Good

by ghostriderfan

Look I'm not gonna bash the movie. The trailers looked good but honestly didn't live up to the hype. Bullet To The Head is a kick-*** movie, I mean it's balls to the wall action and that's where Sylvester Stallone excels. Honestly I didn't feel the chemistry between the two characters (Jimmy BoBo & Det. Kwon) but I'm in the minority. Look the action is there, the story is ok, but this film is a must for all Stallone fans everyone else can wait for DVD. This film is rated "R" for a reason so responsible parents DO NOT NEED TO BRING SMALL KIDS TO THIS!!! (Mind you I saw some irresponsible parents do just that.)

AVERAGE ACTION FLICK FOR SYLVESTER STALLONE FANS!

by Peneflix

Which might have been a viable alternative to director Walter Hill?s tale of cops gone rogue; shenanigans of corrupt, New Orleans officials, subculture of drugs, tattooed miscreants and at its centrifugal core, gun-for hire ?Jimmy Bobo? played robotically by Sylvester Stallone; a sexagenarian, frog-voiced, terrifyingly ?muscled, (possible tips from Lance Armstrong); gone are the empathetic years of ?Rocky Balboa?, we do not have to root for ?Jimmy? there is not a chance of him being felled; bullets bounce off his chest, seas part; man and nature shudder in his presence...

TWO STARS!!

Was exactly what we expected. Silly popcorn fun.

by Patrick_Seaman

Don't expect Hamlet here. This is just simple fun. Felt like it should have been shot in Black and White as over the top Film Noir(ish).

Ok, but only ok.

by Spydercage

Ok, movie but nothing to get excited about. Stallone is the same old Stallone. Granted, you know what your getting when you go to one of his movies. This one is kinda dull, buddy movie jokes fall flat, unnecessary scenes and banter. Not enough Sarah Shahi. I was hoping she would've had a bigger roll, but not to be when Sly wants as much screen time as he can get.
This movie was fine for blow em up action but the working parts (acting by some) needs some work and doesn't pull it over the top for me

Expendables Light

by goblinpiledriver

I went into this movie wanting a rock solid action film. Another Demolition Man would have been excellent. What I was given was a dumb downed version of the Expendables. Same quality of acting, not as many fan favorites. The story was basic like most action films, and sadly super predictable like most action films. There is nothing new here. Jason Mamoa was actually a very good villian but was used so poorly that he seems like a secondary character instead of the person you want Sly to get. Some of the dialogue is very witty and entertaining. Overall this movie is a buy some popcorn, turn off all reason and then try to never think about what you saw or you will hate it. But I would say this movie is worth watching if you are a fan of Sly, or stuff blowing up.

Only if you love Stallone

by MOTORCYCLISTENGINEER

This movie relies on Stallone fans to carry it and is not the kind of movie that is memorable. The story line is mediocre and other than shootings, a couple of hand-to-hand fights and some explosions, the movie doesn't have great intensity or suspense and there's never a good guy bad guy set of characters defined. Apparently Stallone is neither, and everyone he shoots is apparently either a a bad cop or gangster after the fact.

There are several short nudity shots and gun shots to the head to satisfy most action lovers, but the story doesn't carry well and it was hard to establish empathy with any of the characters, including Stallone.

I would not recommend this movie to anybody under 50. To bloody for my Wife and my taste. All we really have to look in the paper to see the killings. The only reason we went to see it, I like Stallones pictures.
