Critics Consensus

While it boasts a capable cast, the disappointingly dull Homefront hearkens back to classic action thrillers without adding anything to the genre.

The car chases aren't done especially well, but overall, Homefront delivers the enjoyment you'd expect from a shoot-'em-up.

A maniacally muddled and maudlin thriller, co-written and produced by Sly Stallone.

It has a well-constructed and connected plot, and it nicely builds up the atmosphere and tension towards the final vengeance. [Full review in Spanish]

Ryder and her role feel tacked on and Statham does what Statham does.

I liked it when Statham was punching people. I liked it less when he wasn't.

Decent movie, the reason the whole war between them started was a bit corny, but other than that not a bad script. Jason Statham was good & I thought James Franco was excellent.

Home front was okay. I believe it had good standing actors but the plot could’ve been better. Jason did a great job as usually. I don’t think there will be sequels. I would recommend this watch.

Far from great but not bad either, Homefront is a straightforward action thriller with some corny writing & gripping action.

Home Front" is a tense, adrenaline-fueled thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The film's strongest asset is its well-crafted storyline, which expertly balances action, suspense, and drama. The script, penned by Sylvester Stallone, is intelligent and engaging, with well-developed characters that add depth to the narrative. Jason Statham delivers a solid performance as the rugged and principled Phil Broker, bringing a sense of gravitas and intensity to the role. James Franco, on the other hand, is chillingly effective as the unhinged Gator Bodine, bringing a level of unpredictability to the film's tense confrontations. The action sequences are expertly choreographed and intense, with a notable showdown between Statham and Franco that will leave you breathless.
