“Bullet To The Head” is a gross-out action movie starring an older Sylvester Stallone (“Rocky”, “Rambo III”) and it’s one to skip. The movie isn’t horrendous or anything like that but it’s a really low-rent action film and the big name here doesn’t deliver.

In “Bullet To The Head”, after his partner is murdered, hitman James Bonomo (Stallone) teams-up with a cop (Sung Kang “Fast Five”) to get revenge. It’s boring, it’s grim and it just lacks what made some of the older action movies feel at the very least, a little more inspired; we see lots of headshots but nothing that’s going to redefine the genre, I guess I just I miss buddy movies like “Lethal Weapon”.

Sylvester Stallone doesn’t seem to care here as all of his lines are delivered in an uninterested tone as the actor seems to be looking all over the place. The effort he put into his older films is completely missing but maybe that’s because he read the average at best script. The cop isn’t particularly interesting and the duo work mediocrely. The villains aren’t in any way memorable and they actually get very little screen-time. Sarah Shahi (“Rush Hour 3”) plays James’ daughter; she’s pretty dull.

“Bullet To The Head” features an incredibly bored star, average action sequences, an average plot, disposable villains and weak chemistry. This is strange to watch because as bad as some of Stallone’s films have been (several are worse than this) they at least felt ambitious. It’s a shame to because this older Stallone still seems capable of being in good movies (check out “Expendables 2” and “Escape Plan”). “Bullet To The Head” is definitely not the worst crime film out there but it’s another one that’s a celebration of mediocrity, a few gunshots and a few blood spurts aren’t all that’s needed to make a decent action movie.
