Hard to believe but Stallone the writer is even worse than Stallone the actor. Idiotic, violent to the point of absurdity with no redeeming qualities what-so-ever. The only appropriate venue for the-is junk is the trash can. No normal adult could watch this from beginning to end and it is dangerously corrupting for a younger audience. It's hard to imagine how movies like this get made in the first place and in the second place to imagine anyone actually sitting through it. On a scale of 1 to 10 it deserves a 0.

The thing is with a Jason Statham movie is that you absolutely know what you will get. I don't think he ever made another movie and I doubt he could actually. It's basically always the same pattern with a slightly different story. Without spoiling anything, except if you never saw a Jason Statham movie before, he's a bad ass good guy that did pretty bad stuff to others because he's so awesome, and so he creates a ton of enemies all out for revenge. He then decides to quit that thug life and tries to be the good role model in his community but somehow at one point his past finds him and he needs to teach everybody a lesson again on how you don't mess with Statham or his family. At first it's always a gentle warning, and the bad guys don't get that, so then he has to go in full-Statham-mode and destroy everybody without him having a scratch. That's about it. If you don't like those kind of revenge stories just don't watch the Statham movies because that's basically what you get every time. I only scored it a five because it lacks originality and the acting skills aren't that great. The action is okay but all predictable. I might have scored it a bit more if it was my first Statham movie but it isn't, so there you go.

A former DEA agent moves his family to a quiet town, where he soon tangles with a local meth drug-lord. I got to see Homefront 3 years ago in a Theater later on as the years passed i got the DVD and let me tell ya this is one of Jason Statham's best movies next to Transporter 1 + 2 and The Expendables Trilogy. The reason why i loved this movie is because of 4 reasons Stallone wrote the script, Statham kicks butt, Great Father + Daughter relationship and the cast is pretty cool the best job in the cast except Statham for me was Frank Grillo his fight scene with Broker was pretty cool. Now the problems with the film for me was definitely James Franco the dude just wasn't scary and he just felt like he was in control when he had the gun when Jason grabbed him and kicked the crap out of him the film kinda ended quickly there when the enemy just isn't that great the movie just falls apart and Winona Ryder's character is very limited. Other than that with those 2 problems i mentioned this is still a pretty cool action movie. Happy 49th Birthday Jason Statham!!!

Just to balance the low rates from film snobs, this movie was 100% awesome. I like film, attend film festivals, travel but by no means consider myself a film expert- just a normal Cali girl who haven't seen much Jason Statham. But, he is crazy sexy and I liked the action- not normally my thing and Winona Ryder was great! Had no idea Stallone wrote other than seeing him hang at The Rainbow Bar- so impressed!! Kinda cool plot because I know an agent who relocated to Maui, had to change it up. Tortured soul from heavy underground work. Loved how James Franco Performed. And, he adopts the black cats in this film! Love! New Jason fan and action film fan! I know men like him are like UNICORNS- it's a role and they don't exist but my lord! Wow! Those eyes!
