Homefront (2013)

A former DEA agent lives a secluded life with his daughter, but manages to raise the attention of the local meth traffickers.

'Homefront' is an action movie starring Jason Statham. It can't get simpler or more generic. What is surprising, however, is the number of more atypical project actors attached to the production. Maybe an uninspired producer promised them great profits, or maybe they had high expectations from a screenplay written by Sylvester Stallone.

Director:  Gary Fleder    

With: Jason Statham, James Franco, Winona Ryder, Kate Bosworth, Clancy Brown

Rating: 6/10

The Iceman (2012)

Povestea cunoscutului asasin platit Richard Kuklinski, ce a reusit sa duca o viata de familie in paralel.

O evocare impartiala a istoriei celebrului Iceman, in care elementul cel mai intens este privirea neclintita a lui Michael Shannon ce il portretizeaza, ducand efectiv intreaga productie in spate. Fara vreun alt element de exceptie, filmul spune eficient o poveste interesanta, evitand a intra in prea multe detalii ce ar putea gasi cauze sau scuze pentru devenirea ucigasului cu sange rece.

Regia: Ariel Vromen

Cu: Michael Shannon, Winona Ryder, Ray Liotta, Chris Evans, David Schwimmer, James Franco, Stephen Dorff, Robert Davi

Rating: 7/10
