Bullet to the Head

Going to try to see it this weekend.

I saw it yesterday...and I liked it! But, audiences have clearly rejected the "macho-invicible-80's-toughguy" formula . This, Last Stand, and Parker all flopped.

But IMO, this movie shouldn't be lumped in with Last Stand. Last Stand had too much unintended comedy. This movie isn't about comedy ...its about political corruption, hitmen, and bullets !

I'm little biased because I vacationed in New Orleans in July and was given the royal treatment and had a good time in the French Quarter and out in the swamps with the gators !

So it was fun recognizing all the areas the filming took place. I swear I rode by Stallone's swamp house on the tour boat ! This wasn't a prop NO, they filmed in the real city!

The guy that plays the big boss? He did good job of sounding evil and villainous !

What I'm wondering is, how did they get the city of NO to agree to host a movie filming that portrays it in a fictionalized bad light ?! They needed the revenue I guess?! Its a TRUE portrayal because of the real life political corruption on the city, buy still ! Do your filming here, but rename the city or don't name it ! Everybody from cops to politicians to lawyers are dirty here, LOL!

Its a shoot-em-up, but its one of the better ones. Highly recommend this over the others.

Or maybe they just reject bad movies? ...I saw Bullet To The Head last weekend, and was middly entertained. It's fun to watch Stallone in good old fashioned action though.

I keep seeing this trailer and all I see is cheese and more cheese. It's perfect for Starz or Encore movie.

Here's the big gaping hole that's just glaringly clear. Stallone is not in Rocky or Rambo age anymore alright. He needs to accept that and evolve like his colleagues Eastwood, Gibson, Pacino. I mean look at him..have you ever seen a 60 year old with tattoos all over his body It looks so pathetic.

He really needs to chill with all the macho movies like Expendables, Bullet to the head, etc and try to do tight gripping dramas or suspense with some substance and less testosterone. He surely has the talent to go that route I really don't know why he stuck like a broken record with stuff like Bullet to the head..just my 2 cents.

^^^^^

Pfft. There is PLENTY of them 'gripping dramas or suspense with some substance' on the market.

This is pure macho cheese and I love Sly for keeping that rollin'.

I'll take Sly's 60 most any day of the week. Tats and all.

Agreed. He looks damn good regardless of what he may be "supplementing" with. Still a lot of hard work and dedication to look like that and he is 66 now!

I wish I could look even nearly that ripped and I'm only 27.

Judging from that stretched out bellybutton and the crater below it, I’d say he has had some waistline surgery. Could be wrong, though.

Working out has been a lifelong hobby of mine, but I’ve never had the desire to look like my skin was going to burst because it couldn’t contain the muscles and blood vessels. I’m more into toning, not ripping.

Stallone is still deep in nostalgia and doesn't want to let go of the good time 80's. it's time to move on and evolve with the times like Cruise. He's not doing Top Gun or rehashing old stale material. If you don't evolve you will become extinct like dinosaurs.

Cruise? Where's the "sharted from laughing" emoticon?

Well, to the dinosaurs credit, they occupied the Earth for about 135 million years, not too shabby for a primitive group

...If Tony Scott was still alive, Tom Cruise would be in pre-production for Top Gun 2.

just sayin'

In the movie bizz Hollywood it doesn't matter if you won 10 Oscars or if your all your films raked in 4 billion dollars...it's' the "you're only as good as your LAST film" and Stallone's last good movie was Rocky 4 with Dolph Lundgren in the mid 80's.

Look at Pacino and De Dinero...the casual movie goers who were born in 79 onwards don't really know them or what they have accomplished. They just know Meet the Parents...ask them have they seen Raging bull or Cape Fear they have no idea.

I think his last "really" good movie was Rocky Balboa, and before that Cop Land. Even the last Rambo was surprsingly good imo. Expendables, Bullet To The Head, these are not to be taken seriously. Just a romp and a wink at the 80s.

I concur.

Rocky Balboa & Cop Land....these you'll find in the $1.99 DVD clearance. Garbage

Right next to Ben Hur.

This film tanked because it had ZERO push behind it. The studio dumped it.

Stallone has had some hits in his resurgence. Rocky Balboa, John Rambo, and the two Expendables all made money and the first two of those four had good reviews (deservedly so).
