Quick Blu-ray review: Bullet to the Head

"I have decided to review this film because it's a first time viewing and I would like to share my thoughts on it."

 

Plot;

Stallone plays hitman Jimmy Bobo, one day after a hit they go to a bar. While Jimmy Bobo (Stallone) is in the bathroom his partner is murdered by Keegan (Jason Momoa). He then goes to kill Bobo but he is too fast for him and gets away only after destroying the entire bathroom.

Bathroom brawl!

After this takes place Jimmy Bobo wants to get revenge, so after a DC cop called Kwon (Sung Kang) comes looking for him in connection with the murder they both reluctantly come to an agreement, only after Bobo saves Kwon's life when he gets attacked by corrupt cops. 

Some quality time.

Bobo and Kwon go through the mobsters looking for Keegan until eventually they find him but only after they take Bobo's daughter. This results in Bobo making a deal with Keegan's employer for the flashdrive which was stolen earlier from one of the gangsters. Bobo gives it and the deal is done, they almost escape when Keegan goes crazy and kills his employer and his bodyguards. This leads up to the final fight with fire axes, yes fire axes! Kwon then earns Bobo's respect and daughter when he saves his life just before Keegan was going to lunge at him.

Axe attack!

 

Extras;

The only extra inlcuded is a lackluster featurette which shows some of what goes on behind production and some interviews, it just isn't enough.



2/5



Blu-ray Picture Quality;

The picture quality is excellent most of the time, at some places it can be very grainy and dark (I know grain isn't a bad thing but sometimes it can be very distracting when it is heavy).



4/5



Blu-ray Audio Quality;

I only used the uncompressed 2.0 audio track due to not having a surround sound setup. The uncompressed track while being very clear and having good bass, it can also be very low at times.



4/5 



While this may not be one of Stallone's normal character's he is used to playing and the character may not be likable and have many redeeming qualities. The film does bring the action and Stallone still does his own stunts at age 65, which I might add are very fun to watch. It is also a great 80s action throwback.
