Synopsis

Phil Broker is a former DEA agent who has gone through a crisis after his action against a biker gang went horribly wrong and it cost the life of his boss' son. He is recently widowed and is left with a 9-years-old daughter, Maddy. He decides to quit the turbulent and demanding life of thrill for Maddy's sake and retires to a small town. His daughter fights off a boy who was bullying her at school and this sets in motion a round of events that end in his direct confrontation with the local Meth drug lord. His past history with the biker gang also enters the arena, making matters more complex. But he has a mission in his mind to protect his daughter and he is ready to pay any cost that it demands.

Diagonaldi Very well executed
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
austinkunkle Once again Jason Statham makes his way as a protective father for his daughter from a bunch of drug dealers. I don't understand why people hated this movie. Sure the motive could have been better to be honest. I mean all kids get in fights at school all the time. Why make this regular school fight so complicating? Oh,well. I don't really care. I just love the fact that Jason Statham is kicking some butt and he's protecting his daughter. That's what I expected from this movie anyways. So I really loved it;I'm sure others liked it too. Lots of people wouldn't care about the plot,all they would want to see in this movie is Jason Statham fight a bunch of people with his hands tied behind his back. I thought Homefront was a real inspirational action/emotional movie and I would watch it a million times and never get over it
adonis98-743-186503 A former DEA agent moves his family to a quiet town, where he soon tangles with a local meth drug-lord. I got to see Homefront 3 years ago in a Theater later on as the years passed i got the DVD and let me tell ya this is one of Jason Statham's best movies next to Transporter 1 + 2 and The Expendables Trilogy. The reason why i loved this movie is because of 4 reasons Stallone wrote the script, Statham kicks butt, Great Father + Daughter relationship and the cast is pretty cool the best job in the cast except Statham for me was Frank Grillo his fight scene with Broker was pretty cool. Now the problems with the film for me was definitely James Franco the dude just wasn't scary and he just felt like he was in control when he had the gun when Jason grabbed him and kicked the crap out of him the film kinda ended quickly there when the enemy just isn't that great the movie just falls apart and Winona Ryder's character is very limited. Other than that with those 2 problems i mentioned this is still a pretty cool action movie. Happy 49th Birthday Jason Statham!!!
Davis P Homefront truly is boosted higher by good performances by the cast. Winona Ryder really did a great job as the skanky bad girl Sheryl, she and James Franco had a really good chemistry and kinda bad guy dynamic going throughout the film. As for Jason Statham, he was perfect for his starring role, I mean could NOT have picked a better action star to lead this movie! He is sexy, rugged, tough as friggin nails, and overall a real badass, but a badass with a good big heart. Him and his daughter really had great father/daughter chemistry here, you could tell that they really had a great relationship and loved and cared about one another, which was needed for a movie like this one. Kate Bosworth is pretty darn good as well, she is almost unrecognizable here, Redneck trailer trash, anyways, she plays a well written character well here. Now as for the movie itself as a whole, it's kinda average action movie fare, nothing to distinguish it from the rest in this genre. The action and shooting sequences are pretty run of the mill, nothing all too special to see unfortunately. The plot has some nice attachments to it, like the father daughter relationship/connection that I mentioned before. Homefront tries it's hardest to be this edgy awesome new action film, but it did not accomplish that goal. It's just too average to be called awesome or even all that edgy. I mean yah there is time of crude language because of the degenerate characters, and yes, it has some rough violence to some scenes, but that still doesn't make it all that edgy. But hey, it's not a total loss, good performances all around! 6/10 for Homefront.
Jennifer Young Just to balance the low rates from film snobs, this movie was 100% awesome. I like film, attend film festivals, travel but by no means consider myself a film expert- just a normal Cali girl who haven't seen much Jason Statham. But, he is crazy sexy and I liked the action- not normally my thing and Winona Ryder was great! Had no idea Stallone wrote other than seeing him hang at The Rainbow Bar- so impressed!! Kinda cool plot because I know an agent who relocated to Maui, had to change it up. Tortured soul from heavy underground work. Loved how James Franco Performed. And, he adopts the black cats in this film! Love! New Jason fan and action film fan! I know men like him are like UNICORNS- it's a role and they don't exist but my lord! Wow! Those eyes!
