When veteran hit man Jimmy Bobo (Sylvester Stallone) and his partner, Louis (Jon Seda), kill a corrupt ex-cop, Louis in turn loses his life to an ex-mercenary named Keegan (Jason Momoa). Detective Taylor Kwon (Sung Kang) senses a connection between the two killings and seeks out Bobo, who subsequently saves Kwon from an assassination attempt. The pair join forces against a common enemy: a ruthless real-estate developer named Robert Nkomo Morel (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje).

Critics Consensus

Bullet to the Head's unapologetically trashy thrills evoke memories of its star and director's proud cinematic pasts -- but sadly, those memories are just about all it has to offer.

The plot existing solely as a breather in between inserting yet more bullets into yet more heads.

Look, Stallone has a perky daughter. Will she end up tied to a chair in a disused refinery (or something)? You know it.

Don't bother with plot coherence or plausibility - if you're going to a Stallone film for logic, then you're in the wrong theater.

2/5

From the hackneyed, humourless script to the overbaked direction, Bullet To The Head’s every shortcoming is on full display.

6.5/10

Despite an irksome script, many of the action scenes show Hill still has the juice.

I was surprised how much I liked the movie. The story was good and Stallone was entertaining to watch as usual. 3/5

The R rating means it at least serves up some grisly 80s thrills but forgettable

Immensely predictable action movie showcasing a forced partnership between a cop and a hitman who have absolutely no chemistry together making it a tough job to watch. Stallone is a know quantity - you get what you'd expect. Kang seems low-key and uninvolved in both the role and the storyline. The movie is watchable, if only for the stunning Sarah Shahi as Stallone's daughter. Lots of fist fights and bullets.

An awesomely entertaining piece of nostalgia. More please.

It's over the top but so quotable that it's worth the watch, especially if you're a Stallone fan.
