I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
A movie with a lot of good ass kicking, of course! It's Sly, what else is he going to do? Comedy...? This movie has high-octane action, great eye candy, don't-blink-and-you'll-probably-still-miss-it naked eye candy, iconic stars AND you'll laugh or Mr. Stallone will trick you into marrying Theresa, his OTHER daughter. This is easily watchable every 3 years or so.
I liked what they were going for with "Bullet to the Head", but not how they went about it. Stallone and retro seem to go hand-in-hand, and the name Walter Hill has its own cachet to contribute to such an enterprise. But it doesn't have much in the way of characterization, plotting or setting. It could happen anywhere, but just so happens to be set in New Orleans, while the revenge angle is robbed of emotion; very businesslike. All I really knew to expect from this was the axe fight between Stallone and Momoa, the centerpiece of the trailers. But by the time it finally happened in the movie, I'd already checked out.There's nothing really bad about this, but it never rises above passable. In that respect, it reminded me of the "Get Carter" remake. 5/10
In his mid-Sixties when he made this film, Stallone looks really ripped, doesn't he? It's good to know a few celebrities out there care enough about how they look to maintain a healthy regimen of exercise, but man, Stallone must take it to the gym every chance he gets. You don't get to look like that without putting some work into it.Now as for the picture, kind of par for the course for an action flick, but I dig these kinds of movies when they've got guys like Stallone or Van Damme in them. I'd have included Steven Seagal but apparently he doesn't have a gym membership. Have you seen him lately? Sad.Anyway, Stallone's not a good guy in this one, even if he is the principal player. He's an assassin doing contract work, but following his latest job his partner gets taken out and James 'Bobo' Bonomo (Stallone) is only slightly bummed about it. When a detective from Washington, D.C. arrives on scene investigating the death of a dirty cop, the pair reluctantly team up to uncover a network of corruption.I don't know, I didn't care for Sung Kang as Detective Taylor Kwan. He just didn't seem to have the kind of charisma needed to play off Stallone's character. Think Kurt Russell in "Tango and Cash". Kwan was a little overbearing as well in regard to wanting to deal with Bobo as a criminal once their team-up was over with. Come on, the guy saved your butt umpteen times and you want to take him down? Where's the rationale for that? Nice work by Jason Momoa as hit-man Keegan in the story. I don't think I've seen him before; he could probably use a little more enthusiasm as a professional assassin, but he got the job done. I liked the idea that he got to take out all his bosses before this was over with, but good as he was, you're never gonna beat Stallone in his own picture.Anyone else wonder what happened to the Russian hooker?
Well this is a Stallone show.I like when he drives & takes control of the scenes.Stallone dialogue delivery needs a special mention along with his unique sense of Humor.("Gun's don't kill people,Bullets do") Sung Kang fits the role perfectly as an Asian Cop working for WDCPD. Jason Momoa for the 1st time in his life has done justice to the role.Christian Slater has more of a cameo role but still made his presence felt.I have seen him after a long time since True Romance.Action scenes are well directed as expected from Walter Hill (Director:Undisputed)& movie is interesting enough(Some twists) to keep you glued to your seats.If you are looking for a fast paced action movie & not bothered about too much technicalities ,you will love it.So Sit back & enjoy fellas.
