Bullet To The Head. 2012.

A New Orleans hitman and a detective join forces to take down the person responsible for killing their partners.

Sly Stallone stars as the hitman who doesn't always abide by the rules very much and Sung Kang as the detective who does the rule book and seems to think his new partner should think things through before becoming trigger happy. This feels like a throw back to the mid 80s-90s buddy cop films with the sarcastic comments and wit that can churn out a laugh or two then the violence parts come up that reminds you that your watching a movie made in 2000s as it would never get shown. Walter Hill done a decent job directing this fast paced action flick.

My God. Did you actually like that?

I thought it was genuinely awful.

Me too MrB. Far, far, far from the best of either Walt or Sly but it was watchable enough.

I won't pretend it was anything special. I certainly didn't think it was awful though. Just disappointing, given one of the greatest action directors ever teamed up with one of the greatest action stars. Its like two michelin starred chefs got together and made a 'decent' cheese toastie.

I agree it's not the best film by Walter Hill or Sly Stallone but certainly better than what I have watched in the last few months.

When it first came out on dvd. I seem to recall that, Escape Plan and The last Stand came out around the same time, in the wake of The Expendables 2 and Bullet to the Head was definitely the worst by a long way.

The Last Stand is certainly one of those films that's not great but not terrible either, Harry Dean Stanton's death scene is one of those that your expecting it but don't know when it will happen.
