The screenplay for this violent retro schlock was written by Sylvester Stallone, and the movie feels like something out of the early eighties.

'Homefront' just isn't the Southern-fried smackdown it should have been

The deeper we go into this story, the more ridiculous the coincidences and plot twists.

Everyone cast against type. Everyone breathtakingly bad, reciting dialogue by Sylvester Stallone that begs for a "mute" button.
