Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Michael Ledo James Bonomo (Sylvester Stallone) is a hitman. Due to a number of circumstances he teams up with Taylor Kwan, an honest cop (Sung Kang) who wants to take people in while Bonomo wants to take them out.The screenplay for this film is based on a novel which means the writing is a step above the hack made-for-film scripts we've been subjected to by the other heavy weight action film stars...especially the guy with the pony tail. The title "Bullet to the Head" has a duo meaning as Stallone enjoys Bullet bourbon. In the beginning Stallone swerves to miss a cat. This is an omen to the next scene where he spares a woman with a panther tattoo on her back. These subtleties (pay attention writer/actor/cop Steve) along with Louisiana harmonica blues grindhouse music and a superior script overcomes bad acting, including Christian Slater.The film is filled with action and bullets to the head. It was just enough drama filler to make a story so we don't get bored when we see people get shot. Worth a view for those who like action films just a cut above the grindhouse style.Parental Guide: F-bombs. Nudity (Weronika Rosati, Sarah Shahi-briefly, plus extras. No sex.

mrpoizun If you like action movies, you should like this one. It's a revenge/buddy movie, set in New Orleans, and the musical score really helps the viewer get in a bluesy state of mind. Stallone is excellent as the old hit man who is still in incredible shape, but is a bit worn down, not by age but by the life. Still, he's seen and done it all and it's prepared him for anything. I see no need to describe the whole movie, but suffice it to say it's easy to watch, with no jarring moments that take you out of the story. The actors, many of whom are well known, all carry their roles with ease. Well, except for the second lead, a Korean actor named Sung Kang. Originally, Thomas Jane was cast in his role as the cop who teamed with Stallone's hitman. But apparently to appease the Asian audience, he was replaced with Kang. Kang is definitely the second banana in the role, and I'm not sure they would have played it that way with Jane because Jane is a much stronger personality onscreen. Kang has all the personality and likeability of an eggplant. He's not terrible in the role, but he definitely does not have the chops to spend time onscreen jousting with Stallone. Luckily, that one weakness in the film does not spoil the experience. Bullet to the Head is very watchable and enjoyable for what it is- an old-fashioned get even by shooting up the bad (or the worse) guys type of movie.

markwoo A sad and depressing little film which shows how badly time has ravaged Stallone. He has never been that much of an actor but as an ageing hit-man he simply is not credible. The axe fight is about as stupid an idea for a climax as I have ever seen and the idea that Stallone's character could ever prevail against someone of Jason Momea's physical prowess defies belief. The scene in the car where the bent local cop is holding his gun to Sung Kang's head before getting his own head shot by Stallone is, perhaps, even more far-fetched. How could Stallone approach the car unseen and line up such a difficult shot i.e. one that did not also put Sung Kang at risk of being in the line of fire. The rest of the film is full of clichés so familiar that I cannot help but think that film scripts are being written by a machine based solely on what was in films that made money before and repeating the same ideas in a slightly different combination. Brainless plotting, poor acting a real turkey. Anyone who rates this film is deluded!

bowmanblue Bullet to the Head is basically a typical Stallone/Schwarzenegger film which would probably be more at home in the eighties or early nineties. Like Arnie's 'The Last Stand' it shows off what Stallone does best, i.e. grunt, look mean and generally kill people.This time he's a hit-man whose partner gets killed by... well, it doesn't matter. What does is that he makes sure the bodies start piling up.It's an action film. Nothing more, nothing less. There are no great surprises here and, if you know Stallone's body of work, you won't really expect much more.If you're looking for deep and meaningful character development with twists and turns and plenty of originality, move alone! If, however, you just want to see Stallone bust heads for an hour and a half, then put your brain on hold and enjoy Bullet to the Head (and quite possibly The Last Stand, as the two films seem to go hand in hand as two of a - highly entertaining, if rather dumb - kind).
