A former DEA agent moves his family to a quiet town, where he soon tangles with a local meth druglord.
Phil Broker is a former DEA agent who has gone through a crisis after his actions against a biker gang went horribly wrong and it cost the life of his bosses son. He is recently widowed and is left with a 9 year 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 is 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.
Here we have another Jason Statham vehicle in Homefront. In this one he plays the role of Phil Broker who gets embroiled with a local meth dealer (James Franco) which quickly escalates until his past starts to catch up with him I know some may be tired of Statham playing the same character with a different back story, but in this particular movie a strong supporting cast does a good job of fleshing this out to the point where it actually became a fairly effective action movie.
I found the story was a little bit of a formulatic rehashing of most lone wolf action movies (including some of Statham's), but it was very well done and Statham is very believable and bankable in his roles. He seems to be happy being type cast into a single character type, and he has learned to embrace it.
That said, we have James Franco in an unusual role for him as Morgan 'Gator' Bodine. Here he plays a sneaky, dangerous meth dealer who is willing to do whatever it takes to accelerate his business. He does a great job in the role and seems to be really into his character and he seems pretty at ease in an action movie (although I found his action scenes were fairly watered down).
Winona Ryder has a decent turn as Franco's girlfriend, but I can't help but think how far she has fallen in the past decade and half. We get some interesting appearances from Frank Grillo as Cyrus, Clancy Brown as Sheriff Keith Rodrigue, and the infamous Chuck Zito as biker boss Danny T. These roles are fairly minor, but I was happy to see them filled with recognizable names to add an additional layer of interest to the movie.
As expected, the action and fight sequences in the movie are all well done and Statham has multiple fantastic martial arts sequences. The movie is violent, but not overly violent or disturbing. Think 80′s action movies without the cheesy dialog (it IS written by Stallone). You root for the hero and boo the baddie .and it's clear cut who is who. No brooding anti-hero here.
All in all this movie was fun to watch. I think Franco could have been a little more believable if he had more action scenes, and this is a very old action movie formula, but I think it's something people may enjoy as break from all of the overly complicated and/or cartoony action heroes we have around right now. A man, his fists, his guns, and explosions! Rating: 6.5/10
Jason Statham is a decent actor. He will never trouble Shakespeare true but he has carved out a nice niche for himself and proved he could act in films like Snatch, Lock Stock and the Bank Job. Sadly he is wasted here along with the rest of what is a talented cast.
The opening sequence is unbelievably silly and the film goes down hill from there.
For no sensible reason he packs in his job as a DEA agent and moves to Redneckville where the hillbillies cook Meth and talk in an accent that would confuse a Scotsman.
James Franco as the ridiculously named 'Gator' is less menacing than the little kitten he catnaps and Kate Bosworth, his sister in the film, does nothing but swear and scream hysterically.
Winona Ryder who is an excellent little actress is criminally under-used here. We hear she is genius but her character does little to endorse that fact. It could have been a great part for her but instead it's pretty dull and ordinary.
Which best describes the film really. Nothing much of interest really happens. Jason hits a few people and seems to talk in some kind of Cockney American accent which probably confused the Rednecks who were speaking an even more incomprehensible dialect. The final shoot out is dull and derivative and seems nothing more than a way to fill in an hour and a half.
Sly wrote this as a follow on from First Blood by all accounts. Maybe it would have been done better as that.
Innocuous enough stuff really but there are several billion better ways to pass 90 minutes.
A disappointing mess of a genre flick.
