Homefront review: ridiculous yet predictable yet kinda fun
Jason Statham teams up with another badass little girl… which makes him almost warm and charming as he kicks the crap out of villains.

Nothing here is as clever as it is desperately trying to be, but Stallone and Schwarzenegger are game to give us a good time.
Damn near unwatchable. It’s barely even a movie — it’s more like a meatbrawl…
Let’s get our geek on for the coming year!
I dunno much about Judge Dredd. I know he springs from a comic book series, I know he’s Judge Judy and executioner, and I know he never takes his helmet off. Forget the roughshodding of civil rights: it’s that last one that’s a major bummer.
What this dumb movie wants you to find absolutely hilarious is random 80s action heroes — this flick is lousy with ’em — now puffy with age and sporting embarrasingly bad dye jobs popping up in deus ex actioner situations…
This trailer gives you a hint of what you’re in for without giving away the game. That seems like a lost art these days.
Of all the washed-up washed-out over-the-hill too-old-for-this-shit action-hero movies we’ve had thrown at us this year — The A-Team, The Losers, The Expendables — Red is by far the most amusing, the most clever, the most tongue-in-cheek, the most fun (and I say that as someone who mostly liked those other movies).
Anything it takes Stallone *and* a gang of badasses to do in *The Expendables,* Angelina Jolie can do all on her own in *Salt*…
Sylvester Stallone: writer, director, *auteur*…
