Author Topic: Bullet to the Head Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 03-04-2013 01:53 AM                     This movie is supposedly based on a French graphic novel (Du Plomb dans la tête), which I've never even heard of. Some African bad guy is buying up land to build shopping malls and condos and is bribing some officials in the process. Stallone (Jimmy Bobo) is playing some kind of gun-for-hire and gets mixed up in the story. After he kills some corrupt ex-cop, he runs into some Fast and the Furious Korean detective of which I forgot both his real and his character name. Jimmy and the Korean cop team up to fight the bad guys together... The movie feels like a dated Stallone flick from the 80s, featuring all the cliches of an outdated action thriller from the past, including a climatic scene in an abandoned factory. All in all, the story and acting remains flat, just like the aspect ratio...  |  IP: Logged
