Phil Broker is a former DEA agent who has gone through a crisis after his action against a biker gang went horribly wrong and it cost the life of his boss' son. He is recently widowed and is left with a 9-years-old daughter, Maddy. He decides to quit the turbulent and demanding life of thrill for Maddy's sake and retires to a small town. His daughter fights off a boy who was bullying her at school and this sets in motion a round of events that end in his direct confrontation with the local Meth drug lord. His past history with the biker gang also enters the arena, making matters more complex. But he has a mission in his mind to protect his daughter and he is ready to pay any cost that it demands.

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
j_steedman Highly recommend to Jason Statham fans! Another classic action film
The Couchpotatoes The thing is with a Jason Statham movie is that you absolutely know what you will get. I don't think he ever made another movie and I doubt he could actually. It's basically always the same pattern with a slightly different story. Without spoiling anything, except if you never saw a Jason Statham movie before, he's a bad ass good guy that did pretty bad stuff to others because he's so awesome, and so he creates a ton of enemies all out for revenge. He then decides to quit that thug life and tries to be the good role model in his community but somehow at one point his past finds him and he needs to teach everybody a lesson again on how you don't mess with Statham or his family. At first it's always a gentle warning, and the bad guys don't get that, so then he has to go in full-Statham-mode and destroy everybody without him having a scratch. That's about it. If you don't like those kind of revenge stories just don't watch the Statham movies because that's basically what you get every time. I only scored it a five because it lacks originality and the acting skills aren't that great. The action is okay but all predictable. I might have scored it a bit more if it was my first Statham movie but it isn't, so there you go.
Cardinal Biggles OK, there are one or two clichés which the excellent talents of Jason Stratham manage to mask, and it is a very gung-ho sort of movie. But then, you know what you are going to get in a Jason Stratham film.....I'd rate this higher if it wasn't for the terrible editing of the action scenes. Too much watching MTV by the director, far too much unnecessary fast cutting. I had no idea what was going on in most of the action scenes. Mostly it was dark, everyone was wearing Redneck check, and there was no time to grasp what was supposed to be happening. And if you aren't watching how Stratham is taking down the bad guys, what's the point of watching this sort of movie? Bad call, Director, whoever you are. (I couldn't be arsed to find out, it was so uninspiring).We're in the last scenes of the movie atm as I write this, and the clichés are coming so thick and fast that I am losing the will to watch. Still, overall a movie worth a viewing when the wife and kids have gone to bed and settled down, and you can pour yourself a decent pint and put your feet up.
yashrajs536 I watched "Homefront" last night and liked it it was a good Statham movie and it was also a bit different from other action movie and that is the thing I liked the most.Statham was great at his place what to say about him and the girl who played the role of Statham daughter is also good and James Franco was a good addition to this movie but somewhat he was a Joker at some places.Other supporting cast were also good at their places and the direction was above average and good to watch the acting was good not great but a fun to watch.Overall a good Statham movie and also a bit different from his usual films.
