What to Know

Critics Consensus

Bullet to the Head's unapologetically trashy thrills evoke memories of its star and director's proud cinematic pasts -- but sadly, those memories are just about all it has to offer.

Look, Stallone has a perky daughter. Will she end up tied to a chair in a disused refinery (or something)? You know it. Go to Full Review Monica Castillo Boston Phoenix 02/05/2013

Daniel N Sep 30 This was great fun. No idea why it has such bad ratings. If you like Stallone you'll like this. A disgruntled hitman who's being targeted by other hitmen. Nice mix of comedy, action and one-liners. Jason Momoa also makes an awesome bad guy. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 15 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Karin v 09/07/2024 True, the story is thin, but it is an entertaining film. If you want a nice evening, popcorn and a beer, it is a perfect movie. A buddy movie between a criminal and a cop has been done before, but personally I liked the fact the criminal was portrayed as a rounded character, rather than a flat one. See more William A 02/24/2024 I don't like dander. See more Bernie W 02/19/2024 Critics are ridiculous. I just discovered this film and it's Stallone at his perfect Stalloneyness. See more Bobby G 01/15/2024 I really liked the movie. But of course I'm a huge Sly fan either way! It's definitely in the top 20 😎 See more Read all reviews
