An undercover cop (Jason Statham) retires to the country
with his young daughter but the past soon catches up with him in this action
thriller scripted by Sylvester Stallone.
A schoolyard dispute escalates into a family dispute and Broker
(Statham) learns that in this town these
things are best put to bed as quickly as possible so he grudgingly apologises to the parents of
the other child. Unbeknown to him they have already involved the local drug
dealer (James Franco) who finds out that there are some very unsavoury
characters on the look out for Broker.
A wonderful supporting cast that includes Clancy Brown,
Frank Grillo and Winona Ryder help elevate this above the usual action movie
standard. When it all kicks off Statham cements his status as a bona fide
action star but he is also competent as the doting Father. Special mention has
to go to James Franco who steals the show as the menacing Gator.
With engaging characters, a real sense of dread and some
excellent action scenes Homefront is a must-see for any fan of the genre.
