Homefront

Jason Statham is a former DEA agent living in the middle of nowhere after an undercover bust gone bad. When his daughter beats up a bully at school, he ends up on the wrong side of some nasty characters. It's then up to him to defend his...homefront. Look, this ain't rocket science. You know what you're getting going in - Statham looking and acting tough, great fight sequences and a barely plausible story. It's the Jason Statham formula - and it works. Rounding out the cast are Winona Ryder and Kate Bosworth as meth addicts. Bosworth, who hasn't looked healthy since Blue Crush, looks positively awful here. I mean, I know she's supposed to but...wow. She looks genuinely anorexic, ill, and messed-up here. But she's really good in her role. Anyway, this is standard fare. Entertaining though! 6/10.
