Wesley Morris
I can barely remember who lives or dies. I barely cared.
David Denby
The screenplay for this violent retro schlock was written by Sylvester Stallone, and the movie feels like something out of the early eighties.
Tom Huddleston
'Homefront' just isn't the Southern-fried smackdown it should have been
Richard Roeper
The deeper we go into this story, the more ridiculous the coincidences and plot twists.
Peter Travers
Everyone cast against type. Everyone breathtakingly bad, reciting dialogue by Sylvester Stallone that begs for a "mute" button.
Bilge Ebiri
By making Statham a regretful lawman, it neutralizes his main talent, effectively neutering him. It also telegraphs the kind of mostly watered-down movie we're about to see.

Stallone plopping Statham in this bore feels like an alpha setting up his successor to fail, like Zeus swallowing up his challengers before they force him into retirement.
User reviews

Predictable, but good on his own way. When you rent/buy a movie with Jason Statham you know what you're getting into, hence the predictability. What you want to see is how they develop the character and use Jason's tremendous physical skills in martial arts and choreographed fights. The movie has you cheering for Jason's character although there are several "holes" in the story. It's a good "airplane" movie and just lower your expectations and enjoy a better than average action movie. By the way, nothing will match Jason's Transporter (first movie).

Enjoyable Hey, if you're a Jason Statham fan, this movie won't disappoint. Of course everything ends wrapped up in a tight little bow, nice and neat, but the script was well written and the acting was superb. Some of the characters were a bit over the top of course. Deal with it. Lol worth a watch. I enjoyed it. Statham is the man.

Great! Was not expecting this movie to be as good as it was, Jason Statham has been in some pretty bad movies lately but he definitely picked a winner by doing this one. And I'm not a fan of James Franco either but wow was this movie great! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and I've seen it 3 times since!
