This movie made me think of the show Justified and old movies like Walking Tall (the 70s version not new one). It makes me glad that the action genre isn't completely dead and over run with the PG-13 non-violent "action". Jason Statham is one of the few keeping it alive now. Woop woop!
P.S. Kate Bosworth was friggin' amazing as a meth head O.o
A little bit of thunder? A little bit of lightening?
It had me riveted. I loved those old-school action movies, Jason Statham did a great job, Kate Bosworth was simply amazing as the methed out white-trash skank. The setting in some small, poor, underdeveloped parish somewhere in Louisiana was perfect...
"Don't make me call Shore Patrol"
Slams service revolver on the bar and shouts "WE ARE SHORE PATROL"!!!
The Last Detail....
Yes it blew me away. Really just watched it because Statham was in it, and didn't have a clue what the plot happened to be. Loved the setting as well the Louisiana landscape was beautiful and reminded me of my times growing up next door in Mississippi. Terrific acting all around. Wish more movies like this existed.
My life tends to be shaken, not stirred.
Great movie I thought Statham was awesome as usual and Kate Bosworth did great job
9/10
i am fire i am death
I thought Homefront was a solid specimen of it's genre.
So we're not talking about a new iconic action classic like die hard 1, terminator, predator or alien 8:th passenger. Homefront aint' either one of those great action film which are refered to when discussing about the action films that any movie goer should see such as leathal weapon, conan the barbarian, commando, taken 1, rambo first blood or deathwish - just to mention few examples.
Homefront is made purely for us, genre fans and it has this "80s b-action film" feel in it. I personally thought it was definitely worth of my time. Heck i've seen plenty of more generic attempts. I'm first to admit that Homefront suffers from few serious flaws and its unlikely that i'm going to rewatch it any time soon, but Homefront stays quite entertaining to the end (the ending on the bridge was too much of a cliche though).
So in my opinion Homefront should be compared to those iconic b-action films such as Red heat, showdown in little tokio, above the law, bloodsport, out for justice, rocky IV etc. I doubt that homefront will cherished like meantioned b-action classics, but it was surprisingly old school film and it deserves some recognition for that!
Lastly to give more context here, let me just say that I enjoyed Homefront a lot more than those modern pg 13 rated so called "die hard sequels" aka die hard 4 and die hard 5.
