An archetypically stupid script can only make a stupid film. I don't buy the Stallone cliché, but in Statham’s films, which are all the same, there is nothing new under the sun, so there can be no question of disappointment. And James Franco is a casting blunder, he can't play the bad guy with that smarmy, good-guy face.

Jason Statham a thousand times the same. Homefront might have a pretty cool name, which will remain in my memory for some time for sure. Also, the screenplay was written by Sly. On the other hand, however, I think that it wasn’t too hard to write the screenplay for this movie. Jason plays an undercover cop, whose operation in the midst of a motorcycle gang gets screwed up by cops and the son of the boss of this bike gang gets shot to shreds. He runs away, changes his identity, but they find him anyways and they want to mess him up real bad. But that’s Jason we are talking about – he manages to escape all the traps, kick everybody’s ass and all that without moving a muscle in his face.

A fine Statham movie that is rather slow to take off. But from the moment when a big black guy pins one of the motorcyclists to the wall with a hay fork, it suddenly picks up pace and doesn’t stop till the end. Franco is great and, for Jason, a little untraditional opponent who uses his wits rather than fighting.

If Stallone had made and starred in this banger 20 or 25 years ago, half the action genre fans would have lost their minds and we would have another movie classic in the world. Today it feels a bit archaic in both script and visual execution, but as an homage to the simple action movies of the 1980s it's good. Those classic trademarks are here in droves: old cars, rednecks everywhere you look, an incredibly buff Kate Bosworth, the ever sexy Winona Ryder, old rock hits, and most importantly the best in terms of power and uncompromising action - bravo! An addition to the genre that is not a disgrace, just a little lost in time.

I have to say that Jason Statham with long hair caught my attention right from the beginning, and I was curious to see how it would develop further. The fact that the screenplay was written by Sly Stallone also inspired confidence in me. Additionally, I also like Franca. It looks like, at least at first glance, an interesting project. A fairly classic movie where a guy wants to defend his family and himself from bad men. Simple, straightforward, good.
