Critics Consensus

While it boasts a capable cast, the disappointingly dull Homefront hearkens back to classic action thrillers without adding anything to the genre.

The car chases aren't done especially well, but overall, Homefront delivers the enjoyment you'd expect from a shoot-'em-up.

1/5

A maniacally muddled and maudlin thriller, co-written and produced by Sly Stallone.

Ryder and her role feel tacked on and Statham does what Statham does.

I liked it when Statham was punching people. I liked it less when he wasn't.

5/10

An abundance of go-nowhere set-ups and extraneous predicaments detract from the simple enjoyment of seeing tough guy Jason Statham pound on his enemies.

Typical Jason Statham movie. Keeps you interested the whole time. He's the guy who fight and barely gets hurt. Funny to see James Franco play a more serious role, I'm used to his comedy movies.

A dull rehash of Hollywood's favorite fantasy. Southern rednecks and a corrupt Southern sheriff, in violent cahoots against the quiet, virtuous good guy. Although always outnumbered, the good guy constantly kicks the asses of the cartoonish rednecks. When you're totally out of ideas, this is the reliable fallback. The movie is so stupid, so predictable and so bad it's almost impossible to watch.

An action packed thriller with lots of entertaining scenes and characters. Jason Statham is great, so is James Franco and Izabella Vidovic. The action is very violent. It’s like the same typical Jason Statham saving girls movie like Safe and Parker. But, overall, I give this movie a 7.5/10.
