Bullet to the Head

Bullet to the Head is a 2013 action film starring Sylvester Stallone, from legendary action director Walter Hill (48 Hrs, The Warriors, Red Heat). It's based upon Alexis Nolent's French graphic novel Du Plomb Dans La Tete.

When their respective partners are viciously murdered, a New Orleans hitman (Sylvester Stallone) and a young Washington DC cop (Sung Kang) put aside their differences and realise that their best hope for exacting revenge is to team up. This high stakes investigation takes the unlikely duo from the back alleys of New Orleans all the way to the city's most powerful and dangerous corridors, where each move could be their last.

Non-stop, old school action with a sense of humour, reminiscent of 80s action films.

Critic Reviews:

• " Bullet to the Head is an adrenaline-fueled, rip-roaring good time that asks little of audiences while still managing to fill their most basic filmgoing needs. " – Sonny Bunch

• " Stallone's dead eyes are betrayed only occasionally by glimmers of humanity: when he spares a would-be victim who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, or when he takes vengeance upon a particularly bad guy. " – Bill Newcott

• " A worthy callback to Stallone's glory days. " – J. Olson
