It's a good Stallone movie as far as action goes but it is ultimately let down by a cliched plot and stiff characters. Sung Kang plays his usual but he is better in the fast and furious movies. To conclude if you are looking for a popcorn entertainment movie this will be a good movie for you but otherwise it fails to deliver.

Solid movie that seems like it is out of the 80s with an ok story and good action sequences. Stallone is still awesome per usual. There were some cliche lines that seemed intentionally overdone. The detective (Kang) was poorly acted and annoying at times. Regardless this was definitely the best of the most recent 2 action movies out (Parker and Die Hard). So if you like mind-numbing action movies this is a pretty well done one.… Collapse

Bullet to the head is a great film, like Arnie's The last stand this film manages to entertain you throughout time. It makes you pretend it's a 1900's crime thriller. Sylvester kicks ass throughout the film, sung Kang is good as a cop and Jason momoa is the ultimate gangster. The killer vs killer style is very well done by director Walter hill. I enjoyed bullet to the head, a must watch. But not as good as movies like pulp fiction, but just good time pass kick ass action. So, 7/10 is my review.… Expand

A total throwback to the 80's action, amazing, just amazing, you will have a great time watching this movie if you enjoy those full action movies from the past.

Walter Hill used to be a top action director and Sylvester Stallone was once an action hero. Both men have blown it with this lame dud. Stallone plays a hit man who teams up with a cop (Sung Kang) to avenge their partners and shut down a group of gangsters. Stallone acts more wooden than ever and the character's weak attempt to channel Eastwood's racist curmudgeon in "Grand Turino" is embarrassing. The action and writing are uninspired. Just skip it.… Expand

Hope I look that ripped when I am 66 years old. This is another action movie retro film riding on the success of the Expendables movies. We got one good Expendables film and now we get Arnie, Willis, and of course Stallone shoveled into their own me too action fiestas. If you are a fan of action films and old people jokes then this is the year for you! Oh, this is a movie review not a rant column. Sorry, the movie is a great Stallone movie. As it should be being directed by the master of this genre.… Expand

What kills this movie for me, more than anything else, is the co-star Sung Kang. He's terrific in the Fast Furious movies, but he's criminally underdeveloped, under-directed, and just terrible in this film. He needs to have at least SOME backbone to serve as Sly's foil. Shahi could have been directed better as well. What's more, the ending is terrible. Don't bother considering this one see Joe Morgenstern's review for further guidance.… Expand

Sorry, but the only thing that went through my head the whole movie was "Yo! Adriane" and I kept looking for Sly to jog up those famous Philly steps. I'm pretty sure that other things happened in the movie, but nothing could break my trance. Sly is Rocky. Nothing else matters. If you want to see an action flick with an aging star I'd save my money and go see the new Die Hard movie when it comes out.… Expand

This is no great film. The script is often stupid (both in terms of dialog and plot) and a number of the main actors are just terrible (Jason Mamoa is abysmal and Stallone is typically stiff) But it is a decent action movie that is actually entertaining in that context for a majority of the movie. Anyone who has zero expectations should not be watching this movie. You need to go in with an action movie expectation and its fine, not great, but fine. But why would anyone trust the reviews of anyone who always gives a 0, a la Marco?… Expand

This was a very good action movie. Nothing more, nothing less. Personally, I thought Stallone looked great for his age, regardless of how he got there. If you go in with zero expectations, then you deserve to be disappointed. This ain't Shakespeare, folks. It's a rough and ready popcorn movie that just happens to be done very well.

"Bullet To The Head" is entertaining in a mindless way in fact, it's the perfect 80's film bone-crushing violence, action and slightly "past-their-sell-date" one-liners. If this has been released in 1986 it would be #1 at the box office. An entertaining and oddly out of date film that grinds out for an audience that no longer exists.

This movie was a lot of fun. It is exactly what the trailers show it to be. I am glad Stallone is back. Very fun movie. If you like Cobra, Get Carter, The Specialist, or any of his other movies along this line, you will like this one. And isn't entertainment what we go to the movies for?

I went in with ZERO expectations and came out in the NEGATIVE column. It was beyond bad. In many ways it's reprehensible. The story is ridiculous and the dialogue is tedious. Seeing a 70 yr Stallone all steroid-ed up with his face still botched up, was unnerving. Seeing him battle the young, hunky
Jason M... was a just an embarrassment. Skip this one folks! Save your hard-earned dollars and see something else.… Expand
