50 Stallone Movies Ranked From Best To Worst
19) BULLET TO THE HEAD (2012)
This movie has a negative reputation across the various ‘meter’ platforms; bad score on IMDb, bad score on RT. And it was a box office bomb too, which was bad because it was Stallone’s first stand alone test on his comeback outside the ensemble power of The Expendables and sequel/brand power of Rocky and Rambo. And that was a damn pity, but the trade off is you get a movie that simply gives no fucks. Gives. No. Fucks! Walter Hill’s movie doesn’t care about leotard trends or Xander Cage kitsch… it’s obliviously and happily stuck in 1988.
Jimmy Bobo is a sexist, misogynistic dinosaur who uses casual racism as a method of hazing and showing acceptance, like it used to be in the old days. Bobo leaves an improbable trail of bodies laying everywhere, driving around like each latest bloodied corpse is little more than some McDonalds litter he discarded. The vehicular homicide in particular committed by Stallone early in the film demands a roar of celebration — egregious murder found rarely in a movie this side of 1990. I can imagine how today’s girlie man critics recoiled in horror as manly bonding and scores being settled with axe fights took precedence over highfalutin nonsense.
