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 Atlantic

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

London Evening Standard

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

Rated: 1/5

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.

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 3.5 out of 5 stars

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.

James Franco miraculously goes in the basement and directly to a box with classified info? I stopped watching it then.

I find it interesting how this has a rotten score and the consensus is "adds nothing new to the genre". I often find action films get a low critic's score unless they do something that makes them wholly unconventional. The problem with that bar is I do not seek unconventional when I'm in the mood for a decent action flic. I want great actors, a believable premise, a capable hero, a titillating bad guy, a good story, and a whole lot of kick ass. I prefer not to see a lot of circumvention of the genre if it takes away from these basic elements. This story was great, and if anything, the end might have been BETTER if it stuck to a more predictable convention. However, the ending allowed for some serious acting displays from the sympathetic bad guys James Franco and Winona Ryder, and I am here for it. If you want an old school action film with great acting, real stakes, and a lot of kick-ass, this is simply an ideal choice. Critics need to step aside if they are not action film connoisseurs. To please them may have required a less formulaic, and thus less cathartic action thriller.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
