Despite the Clichés, a Good and Funny Action Movie

In New Orleans, the hit men James Bonomo (Sylvester Stallone),a.k.a. Jimmy Bobo, and Louis Blanchard (Jon Seda) execute the dirty cop Hank Greely (Holt McCallany) in a hotel room. But they are betrayed and Louis is stabbed in a bar by the mercenary Keegan (Jason Momoa) while waiting for the payment of the contract. Meanwhile the Washington D.C. police detective Taylor Kwon (Sung Kang) comes to New Orleans to investigate the murder of Greely, who had stolen evidences from the Police Department. Soon he is shot by two dirty detectives but Jimmy saves his life. Jimmy brings Taylor to the shop of his daughter Lisa (Sarah Shahi) and she removes the bullet from his shoulder and nurses him. Taylor and Jimmy form the most unlikely partnership to investigate the crimes and after contacting the intermediate Ronnie Earl (Brian Van Holt) that had hired Jimmy and Louis, they discover a network of corruption formed by the lawyer Marcus Baptiste (Christian Slater) and the entrepreneur Robert Nkomo Morel (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje).

"Bullet to the Head" is the return of the cult director Walter Hill to the direction after six years without making a movie. The story uses many clichés and the double Taylor and Jimmy is identical to other comedies with two different characters forced to work together and having the conventional frictions. But the story and the action are good, the locations in NOLA are wonderful and the music score is excellent. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Alvo Duplo" ("Double Target")

A BURGER IN MY GUT

When I eat a burger I don't expect a steak. This is clearly a burger. A cheesy burger, but a solid burger.

Good action, some fun jokes, and general mayhem. No thinking required

Enjoy your burger.

Fun updating of 48 Hrs.

BULLET TO THE HEAD is nothing more than Walter Hill's reworking of his own 48 HRS., rejigging and updating the storyline for modern audiences. Stallone takes on the gruff elder cop-type role that Nick Nolte played in the original, while Sung Kang is the minority sidekick. Of course, they're on the trail of a nasty psychopath type, wading their way through various other bad guys en route.

I'm a sucker for action movies, particularly star vehicles, and I rarely see one I dislike. I've liked most of the Stallone films I've seen over the years, and this one is no different; action fans will be in their element, even if this is far from a perfect film. Indeed, it feels a little hollow and artificial in places, and it lacks a decent score to enhance the excitement, but for the most part it works by keeping to a simple, old-fashioned formula.

Stallone is the best thing in the film. He relishes his character's own brand of ultra violence, which certainly lives up to titular expectations, and barks out his dialogue with aplomb, reminding one of a bulldog chewing on a nettle. Sung Kang is also better than you'd expect, delivering a more mature characterisation than I'd expected, and completing the trio is the truly hulking Jason Momoa (CONAN THE BARBARIAN),kicking ass all over the place. Hill's action choreography is effective and if the storyline is even more simplistic than the likes of COBRA, it doesn't matter, because you're having too much fun to notice too much.
