Bullet To The Head (DVD)

May 31, 2013 By Adrian Naik Leave a Comment

Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Sung Kang, Jason Momoa, Christian Slater
Director: Walter Hill
Running Time: 92 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: June 3rd 2013

When his partner is killed, Jimmy Bobo (Stallone), a Louisiana hitman, joins up with a by-the-book police officer Taylor Kwon (Kang) who is investigating the death of his own partner. Together they set out for vengeance, uncovering police corruption and hunting down a ruthless mercenary (Momoa) who’s out to kill them both.

Considering the action pedigree of Bullet to the Head — Sylvester Stallone looking great at 66, Walter Hill (Deadwood, The Warriors) at the wheel and producer Joel Silver (Commando, The Matrix) riding shotgun — the audience can expect a little more from this action film than a mindless gun slinger. The opening sequence promises as much: a stylish grunginess greets the audience. Throughout the film there’s a satisfying grimy-New Orleans feel with an icy-cool soundtrack that you’d find happily playing in a bar deep in Louisiana swamp-land. [Read more…]

Identity Thief Proves A Big Hit At The US Box Office

February 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

identity-thief-poster1The Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman grossout comedy Identity Thief may have been faced with some vitriolic reviews, but US audiences obviously didn’t care as the film significantly outperformed expectations, taking $36.5 million in its first three days in cinemas. It’s one of the best starts ever for an R-rated comedy, suggesting the film should have strong legs over the coming weeks.

The only other new entry in the top 10 was Steven Soderbergh’s pharmaceutical thriller Side Effects, which took $10 million over the weekend. It’s not a disaster but not a great start for a film with a cast including Channing Tatum, Jude Law, Rooney Mara and Catherine Zeta-Jones. It certainly suggests diminishing returns for Soderbergh’s brand of ensemble thriller, as it’s less than half of what Contagion took in 2011.

Top Gun 3D returned to cinemas but placed just outside the top 10. However it was only showing on 300 screens, so did pretty well to make $1.9 million (it’s per screen average was double that of Side Effects).

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of February 8th-10th.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Identity Thief $36.5 $36.5
2 Warm Bodies $11.5 $36.6
3 Side Effects $10.0 $10.0
4 Silver Linings Playbook $6.9 $90.0
5 Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters $5.7 $43.8
6 Mama $4.3 $64.0
7 Zero Dark Thirty $4.0 $83.6
8 Argo $2.5 $123.7
9 Django Unchained $2.2 $154.5
10 Bulllet To The Head $1,9 $8.1

Warm Bodies Heats Up The US Box Office

February 4, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

WARM BODIESNobody seemed sure quite how well Warm Bodies would do at the US box office, but it turns out audiences were up for some zombie fun over the Superbowl weekend, as the Nicholas Hoult starring movie took $20 million in its first weekend to top the chart. It’s considered a pretty good opening for a relatively cheap movie that could easily have been ignored.

The only other new movie in the top 10 was Bullet To The Head, which placed sixith with $4.5 million. It’s not been a good few weeks for 80s action stars, as Arnie’s comeback, The Last Stand, failed to hit is big, and now Sylvester Stallone is having the same trouble with his new movie. It’s been noted that it’s the star’s worst opening since 1981’s Nighthawks, and even that movie had a higher attendance.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of February 1st-3rd.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Warm Bodies $19.5 $20.0
2 Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters $9.2 $34.4
3 Silver Linings Playbook $8.1 $80.3
4 Mama $6.7 $58.2
5 Zero Dark Thirty $5.3 $77.7
6 Bulllet To The Head $4.5 $4.5
7 Parker $3.2 $12.4
8 Django Unchained $3.0 $150.9
9 Les Miserables $2.4 $141.5
10 Lincoln $2.4 $170.7

Bullet To The Head Trailer – Sly Stallone turns hitman

August 17, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

With The Expendables 2 out today, it’s a good time to release trailers for the stars’ upcoming movie. We’ve just had one for Arnie’s The Last Stand and now we’ve got Sylvester Stallone Bullet To The Head. Based on a graphic novel, Bullet to the Head tells the story of a New Orleans hitman (Stallone) and a New York City cop (Sung Kang) who form an alliance to bring down the killers of their respective partners. Walter Hill directs, suggesting this may be one to look out for.

First Pic Of Stallone In Bullet To the Head

December 19, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment


The first image of Sylvester Stallone in Bullet To The Head has been released and certainly wants to prove that despite recently reaching pensionable age, the actor shows no signs of slowing down or shying away from full-on action. However we would like to point out that fighting with axes is just a bad idea.

In the film he’s teamed with a young NYPD detective in a high-stakes investigation that leads from the dingy back alleys of New Orleans all the way to the power corridors of Washington, D.C. The unlikely duo, brought together by two vicious murders, take on all who stand in their way, and are willing to sacrifice everything to exact revenge.

And while we’re feeling the Stallone vibe, take a look at a new official poster for The Expendables 2 below, which is due out in August.
