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

I can barely remember who lives or dies. I barely cared.

| Dec 10, 2013

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

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 6, 2013

Fleder - a dab hand with knotty, workable pulp - proves admirably patient in revealing character and place, and it helps that those laying siege to our hero's self-timbered abode never quite react in the way expected of goons in a Jason Statham movie.

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

Homefront does nothing to stretch its leading man, but there's something to be said for Statham's stardom and the films being slotted around it - like a stubborn bollard, you always know exactly where to find him.

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

The screenplay for this violent retro schlock was written by Sylvester Stallone, and the movie feels like something out of the early eighties.

Full Review | Dec 2, 2013

'Homefront' just isn't the Southern-fried smackdown it should have been

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 2, 2013

Another shake-and-bake Stath special, boasting the requisite punchy-fighty action and some pleasing sleaziness from Franco and Bosworth, but it's ponderously handled by director Fleder.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 1, 2013

The film is mostly predictable, but throws a few curveballs and ends up being surprisingly entertaining, if not at all outstanding.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 27, 2013

Everyone cast against type. Everyone breathtakingly bad, reciting dialogue by Sylvester Stallone that begs for a "mute" button.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 27, 2013

By making Statham a regretful lawman, it neutralizes his main talent, effectively neutering him. It also telegraphs the kind of mostly watered-down movie we're about to see.

| Nov 27, 2013

Stallone plopping Statham in this bore feels like an alpha setting up his successor to fail, like Zeus swallowing up his challengers before they force him into retirement.

| Original Score: C | Nov 27, 2013

Homefront aims to be retro, greasy comfort food but despite its lowly ambitions, there's barely enough spice here to merit a decent burp.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 27, 2013

[It] isn't Statham's best - or most brutal - work, but it's not bad.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 27, 2013

Fleder, who is a pretty standard button-masher as an action director, actually shows infectious relish and nuance in depicting Statham's slow return to his violent ways.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 27, 2013

Homefront is ridiculously overdone.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 27, 2013

Ryder rockets to such heights of emoting that she looks like she could black out from lack of oxygen.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 27, 2013

There's little in the way of character, visual style, or suspense.

| Nov 27, 2013

The basic ingredients of a throwback action movie are all there; what's missing is action and style.

| Original Score: C- | Nov 27, 2013

[Statham's] paired with a precocious adolescent daughter and an adorable kitten that only accentuate his charm.
