If you’re even halfway interested in action movies, you know that if Sylvester Stallone is involved, it’s a sure thing that there are going to be plenty of explosions, high-speed chases, and jaw-dropping fight scenes. He may have played his most famous roles back in the 80s and 90s, but Stallone is back to prove himself once again in Bullet to the Head.
Stallone stars in this 2013 flick as Jimmy Bobo, a New Orleans hitman who has been hired to take down a corrupt policeman by Robert Morel (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) , a shadowy figure with ties to the city’s criminal underground. When his partner is murdered by the brutish Keegan, played by Jason Momoa of Game of Thrones fame, Bobo narrowly escapes getting whacked as well. Bobo, who is now in Keegan’s sights, finds himself in an unlikely partnership with Detective Taylor Kwon (Sung Kang), with the two putting everything else aside to take down the real bad guys.
Bullet to the Head is based on a French graphic novel by Alexis Nolent called Du Plomb Dans la Tete. Although his work is more popular in France, his comics have gained popularity in the U.S. in recent years. His first comic published in English, The Killer, was optioned for a film by Paramount, and his subsequent work, Cyclops, was optioned by Warner Brothers. Bullet to the Head is the first of his comics to make it to the silver screen.
