Bullet to the Head

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Bullet to the Head's unapologetically trashy thrills evoke memories of its star and director's proud cinematic pasts -- but sadly, those memories are just about all it has to offer.

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk The plot existing solely as a breather in between inserting yet more bullets into yet more heads. Rated: 2/5 Sep 1, 2017 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times Look, Stallone has a perky daughter. Will she end up tied to a chair in a disused refinery (or something)? You know it. Rated: 2/5 Feb 17, 2013 Full Review Monica Castillo Boston Phoenix Don't bother with plot coherence or plausibility - if you're going to a Stallone film for logic, then you're in the wrong theater. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 5, 2013 Full Review Michael Leader Den of Geek From the hackneyed, humourless script to the overbaked direction, Bullet To The Head’s every shortcoming is on full display. Rated: 2/5 May 3, 2024 Full Review Mitchell Beaupre Paste Magazine Despite an irksome script, many of the action scenes show Hill still has the juice. Rated: 6.5/10 Sep 29, 2023 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...almost watchable yet primarily forgettable... Rated: 2/4 Aug 6, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

William A I don't like dander. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Bernie W Critics are ridiculous. I just discovered this film and it's Stallone at his perfect Stalloneyness. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Bobby G I really liked the movie. But of course I'm a huge Sly fan either way! It's definitely in the top 20 😎 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Anderson O Creative action sequences, paces Better than I expected. It's a gun slinging mob revenge movie that moves at a brisk pace, and somewhat forgettable, the climax and final action scene was great! Rarity to see Jason Mamoa in a Villian Role but works well to me. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review Audience Member Normal action affairs, nothing really fresh... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review corkball Oh boy. This is down there. There are some famous faces, but this thing is just meandering and bloody. I generally like watching Stallone, so it isn't a total waste, but I am kinda left wondering who is the good guy here? Presumably the cop that keeps telling Stallone he is gonna take him down. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
