Movie Rating: Peter Osteried

Action flick starring Jason Statham and James Franco, written by Sylvester Stallone.

As an undercover cop, Phil Broker (Jason Statham) puts the head of a biker gang in prison. The biker swears revenge, because he lost his son in the battle with the cops. Broker moves with his daughter Maddy to a small town. A fight with a mother who’s son Maddy beat up escalates when the mother sicks her drug dealer brother (James Franco) on him. When the brother finds out who Broker really is, he sees this as his big chance...

Sylvester Stallone wrote the screenplay to this classically structured action flick. Homefront works as both 80’s action movie and 50’s western – the idea of the outnumbered lone gunman trying to protect his family is not new. A B movie dressed as A with a stellar cast offering simple entertainment.
