Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: Bullet To The Head

Genre: Action Crime Thriller contains strong lanaguge & strong violence & drug use

Cert : 15 cert

Story: Based on a graphic novel, Bullet to the Head tells the story of a New Orleans hitman (Stallone) and a DC cop (Kang) who form an alliance to bring down the killers of their respective partners.After watching their respective partners die, a New Orleans hitman and a Washington D.C. detective form an alliance in order to bring down their common enemy.

Likes : This is old school stallone at his best, although film didnt really hit off for me to be honest,but it was a watchable film, i dont know if its the storyline or the lack of action thats let this film down but it not normaly like this for stallone film's. Sylvester Stallone play the hitman James Bonomo who was hired for a hit but was double acrossed by the people who hire him.Sarah Shahi play his daughter Lisa Bonomo a tattoo artist that seem to know what her father dose for a living but dosn't what to be apart of it,but gets caught up in the mess.Sung Kang plays the the police officer Taylor Kwon who nieve nature dosent realise that the co works in the office are crupt,so he teams up with james to take down the mob boss.Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje plays this mob boss Robert Nkomo Morel that set james up & kills hes partner, until he starts getting greed which set up he's down fall.Jason Momoa plays the ex merc keegan who is a hired gun & hitman for robert,who leads to a fight with james for hitting hes daughter.Christian Slater play roberts account/lawyer Marcus Baptiste who handle the accounts & bussniess transactions for robert.be warn tho this film is very violent,with the fight scene,guns fights & the bullets to the head all in alll make this film with very strong violence that maybe to strong for a 15 year to watch.

Dislike: Im a little dispointed with this film to be honest,being what it was a violent film it should of had more action scene in this film it was seriously lacking that excitment level that stallone films normally have,it was very slow & with the lack of action this film was just a big let down for a stallone film.it could of been done better although stallone is a good actor this was by far the worst film he's done.

Overall : Dont go think this will be a fast paced film full of action because its far from it,although its a watchable film & enjoyable to watch it lacks that acion thrills that stallone film normally have.

Rating: 3.6 out of 5 for enetertainment / 6 out of 10 for storyline & action
