Homefront : Movie Review


On a scale of 1-10, or the Statham-scale from CRANK to TRANSPORTER, HOMEFRONT leans more towards the latter. The “Jason Statham formula” is in full effect here. His character, Phil Broker, has got a sordid past; he has someone he cares about and needs to protect that someone when that past inevitably catches up to him. It’s almost as if Statham has made it his personal life mission to make sure the world knows that actions have consequences and is teaching this important lesson through his films. For me, his movies live and die with who his co-star and antagonist are. The Stath will always be The Stath, but how much I care about the supporting players in his films always dictates whether or not I care if he succeeds or if I’m just in it for the fights and to see him with his shirt off. SPOILER: He keeps it on this time. Sorry.
