Saw the new Jason Statham action flick Homefront, co-starring James Franco (!), Kate Bosworth, and Winona Ryder (!?)… and written by Sylvester Stallone (!?!). Compared to most of the low-ambition run-of-the-mill action flicks, this is better than expected as far as the story structure, scripting, and low-rent villains go. Kate Bosworth is probably the best character in the movie but Franco’s baddie is also pretty interesting. Statham gets to have a daughter and does a bit more acting than average… and Clancy Brown shows up too. Not as action-packed as would be typical of a Statham flick. Really, not a bad movie.

Score: 76
