      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

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

      Cali C I found the movie very entertaining. No dragging, great plot! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Igor S When i saw this was written and produced by Stallone, and right in the begginning, there is an interaction between Statham and a town cop, i thought this was going to be a First Blood type movie. Unfortunately it wasn't; but it's still a decent watch, if you turn off your brain a little bit. If you like old school type movies, you will enjoy this. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review J. Paul H James Franco miraculously goes in the basement and directly to a box with classified info? I stopped watching it then. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/29/23 Full Review Harold L I find it interesting how this has a rotten score and the consensus is "adds nothing new to the genre". I often find action films get a low critic's score unless they do something that makes them wholly unconventional. The problem with that bar is I do not seek unconventional when I'm in the mood for a decent action flic. I want great actors, a believable premise, a capable hero, a titillating bad guy, a good story, and a whole lot of kick ass. I prefer not to see a lot of circumvention of the genre if it takes away from these basic elements. This story was great, and if anything, the end might have been BETTER if it stuck to a more predictable convention. However, the ending allowed for some serious acting displays from the sympathetic bad guys James Franco and Winona Ryder, and I am here for it. If you want an old school action film with great acting, real stakes, and a lot of kick-ass, this is simply an ideal choice. Critics need to step aside if they are not action film connoisseurs. To please them may have required a less formulaic, and thus less cathartic action thriller. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Drew F a better than average action thriller with a good cast. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Mike D Lots of good actors supporting the movie. Very entertaining. A few holes in the screenplay, thanks to Sly Stallone, who also produced the movie. Climax in the movie was when Jason S says, "are you smelling the wood burning" and " are you connecting the dots now?" Worth watching.

      Noah Berlatsky The Atlantic The car chases aren't done especially well, but overall, Homefront delivers the enjoyment you'd expect from a shoot-'em-up. Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Wesley Morris Grantland I can barely remember who lives or dies. I barely cared. Dec 10, 2013 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard A maniacally muddled and maudlin thriller, co-written and produced by Sly Stallone. Rated: 1/5 Dec 6, 2013 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine It has a well-constructed and connected plot, and it nicely builds up the atmosphere and tension towards the final vengeance. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Jul 1, 2022 Full Review Tom Meek Cambridge Day Ryder and her role feel tacked on and Statham does what Statham does. Rated: 2/4 Feb 12, 2021 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse I liked it when Statham was punching people. I liked it less when he wasn't. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
