From the hackneyed, humourless script to the overbaked direction, Bullet To The Head’s every shortcoming is on full display.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 3, 2024

Despite an irksome script, many of the action scenes show Hill still has the juice.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Sep 29, 2023

...almost watchable yet primarily forgettable...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 6, 2023

A movie with the subtlety of a kick to the face.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 31, 2021

At least it attempts to break every bone introduced, which will appease less discerning action fans.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 3, 2020

Hill is definitely not at the top of his game here, though he handles the gun play decently enough and has certainly added a spark to Stallone's performance.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 4, 2020

This was an homage to action movies from the 1980s that didn't do anything to update itself for a modern audience.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 28, 2020

Wanton disregard for human life is the point of the whole movie, and when Hill lets his protagonist out to play, "Bullet to the Head" is best. The rest of the time, when they try to insert story or character-or any time there are words-problems arise.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 9, 2020

Much like its star, it's a film from another era, and at its heart pulses a steely verve that is sorely missing in many modern action films.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 8, 2019

Will appeal to certain audiences, and those hoping for silly fun in the vein of throwaway one-liners and axe-fight showdowns will not be disappointed. For others, Stallone's latest is best viewed on smaller screens, if at all.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 8, 2019

I can hardly call Bullet to the Head bad; it's just so bland on pretty much every level that there's not much to say but 'meh'.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 1, 2018

Although Bullet to the Head comes nowhere near the pantheon of the great buddy movies, and some fans of the original graphic novel might wince at the changes, there's enough fun to be had...

| Original Score: 5.7/10 | May 14, 2018

At times it feels as though the whole thing has been scrubbed clean of anything resembling theme.

| Jan 9, 2018

The plot existing solely as a breather in between inserting yet more bullets into yet more heads.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 1, 2017

Bullet to the Head is an adrenaline-fueled, rip-roaring good time that asks little of audiences while still managing to fill their most basic filmgoing needs.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 14, 2016

Stallone's dead eyes are betrayed only occasionally by glimmers of humanity: when he spares a would-be victim who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, or when he takes vengeance upon a particularly bad bad guy.

| Original Score: 3 of 5 | Apr 18, 2016

A worthy callback to Stallone's glory days.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 9, 2016

The movie's titled Bullet to the Head, what the heck do you think it's going to be?

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 5, 2013

It says "revenge never gets old." Yeah, but Sylvester Stallone did. Yikes.

| Original Score: C | Jul 27, 2013

A big, dumb action film that charges forward believing Stallone is charismatic enough to sell even bad writing. He's not.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 16, 2013
