Rotten
Hill's eye for back alley scuzz is as strong as ever, but the story, adapted from a French graphic novel by Alexis Nolent, is so die-cut it gives neither him nor Stallone anything to work with.

On its own degenerate terms, the movie works.
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
It's a series of fight scenes that build to a climax that is surprisingly unsatisfying in the way it ultimately plays out.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
Sylvester Stallone shoots people in the face. That's it for subtext in this formula action swill. Why do I sound like I should expect more. Because the credits list the director as Walter Hill.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Bullet to the Head doesn't try to adapt its star to 2013. It just pretends that we're still living in 1986. And for 91 minutes, it just about works.
