Jay W I had good reason to into this film with high expectations. The film has action movie legend, Jason Statham, along with great MMA action fighter, Frank Grillo. Combine that with Sylvester Stallone as a writer. Don't laugh. Stallone is an Oscar winning writer. He has written 5 of my favorite movies. Yes, all five of those were all for the same underdog boxer, regardless, with this combination, I had every reason to be excited for some good fun action. Sadly, what I got was a little too sloppy in execution to be considered fun. What Stallone excels in as a writer is simplicity. Setting up characters we like, and having them overcome advisories we don't like. And when the movie is focused on this, it can be fun. When the characters are allowed to just be characters, there are some legitimately good moments. The story let's these characters down. The instigating event of this movie is just stupid. The idea that all these problems happen because of this little thing, is just so dumb, the quicker the movie gets away from it, the better. There are action scenes that fell like they were written first, and then they hastily tried to get our characters involved in them. A character literally asks 3 different characters, "Why are you even here?" and we the audience are wondering the same thing. Some usual action movie problems are present here as well. You have Statham and Grillo fight but cut the scene to death so no one can see what's going on. There are some explosions that would kill any one besides the main character, but their plot armor is to thick to present any danger. The movie also feels like it is incomplete, like it is setting up a sequel that is never going to happen. Not a complete mess, but overall it is just sloppy. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Jonathan O Homefront is a dumb fun action movie and you can tell this is Sylvester Stallone movie which he's not in it and dialog and the writing are dumb and silly and bad editing and the cinematography felt like a direct to video. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Lanfranco C The conutryside is not always a quiet place. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Nathan W Its no surprise that the standout performances in this one came from James Franco and Kate Bosworth, both of whom always seem to bring their A game... no matter the role. Basically another generic Jason Statham action/thriller with a simple, yet decently engaging plot. The pacing was fine and there was enough story building, action and explosions to hold my interest through out.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Igor S When i saw this was written and produced by Stallone, and right in the begginning, there is an interaction between Statham and a town cop, i thought this was going to be a First Blood type movie. Unfortunately it wasn't; but it's still a decent watch, if you turn off your brain a little bit. If you like old school type movies, you will enjoy this.
