Bullet to the Noggin - A Hardcore Stallone Fix • 7/10
18 February 2013 | by (Influx Magazine - dearboss@influxmagazine.com) – See all my reviews

How can anyone complain (some reviewers have) about going to see a Sly Stallone flick called Bullet to the fckng Head and accuse it of being anything other than what it's supposed to be? A Stallone action movie, pure and simple. If you feel the need to get any thinking done, take a damn book with you to the cinema. I would have liked to have seen a complicated plot and a hero with mega issues but I just can't see Sly jerking off for the cameras or having a gay relationship with his cop buddy, it ain't gonna work, just trust me on this.

If you need a Sylvester Stallone action fix then this movie mainlines it to the brain. I recently watched the brilliant Django and the blood splatter is the same in this. It sprays everywhere. No braincells need be wasted watching this Stallone vehicle. Just sit back and enjoy.

Recommended

Score: 7/10
