Bullet to the Head

Actors:  Sylvester Stallone, Sarah Shahi, Jason Momoa, Christian Slater, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
Rating:  7 out of 10, Rocky’s back, but that boy has had some serious plastic surgery done.  He can barely move his facial muscles anymore.  I think if he ever smiled (he doesn’t in this movie) his toes would curl.  He does get into a Viking axe death match with Conan which gives you a clue about the flick.  This film also marked the return of Walter Hill who directed some of the best action flicks of the 1980’s so his teaming with Stallone was appropriate.  I always liked Hill’s gritty style and over the top action which is once again present here.  Stallone plays a betrayed hit man who teams up with an Asian cop from Washington DC to hunt down his betrayers in New Orleans.  Somehow it all made sense and the action was almost non-stop and enjoyable.
MVP:  Stallone as Jimmy Bobo can still carry an action flick
