Movie Review: Bullet To The Head
Bullet to the Head – just put me out of my misery… no really
Yea, I'm just going to come out and say it. This movie is barely mediocre. The premise of the story is about hitman Jimmy Bobo (Sylvester Stallone) and WDC Detective Taylor Kwon (Sung Kang) looking for the person behind the murders of their partners.
In my opinion, a great movie consists of three important elements, the characters, vivid story telling, and musical score. This movie only has a small piece of the first two, and nothing from the third. The story is being partially narrated by Stallone's character, while he provides adequate back story to his own character, he doesn't really help much in progressing the story with his monotonous voice. Throughout the movie I was wondering what type of tone and direction it's trying to take. Is it supposed to be serious or is it supposed to be funny? It seemed like it did not know where to go. There were plenty of serious moments in the movie, as this is what action movies are supposed to be like, but then, the funny bits were lacking. Even Last Stand was funnier than this movie, and I fell asleep while watching Last Stand. During the second half of the movie I was wondering when I can watch Demolition Man. (PHOENIX!) Leaving the movie theater, I did not feel satisfied with the quality of this production. The Expendables, both 1 and 2 were better than this movie.
This movie is definitely not like Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour, Training Day, Beverly Hills Cop, Bad Boys, or any other 2 person shoot-em up group of action junkies. If you liked those movies, you will not like Bullet to the Head.
Overall: D+ (Do they still give +’s for a D grade? If it weren’t for naked ladies in the film, this grade would be lower)
