The US this week sees the release of tense action-thriller HOMEFRONT, which sees the ever-likeable Jason Statham back in action man mode after the more character-driven HUMMINGBIRD (or REDEMPTION). The film pits his retired government agent, Phil Broker, against a crazed drug-dealing backwoods clan, led by James Franco, after relocating with his daughter to a secluded small town following the death of his wife.
The film, which hits the UK next Friday, has a screenplay by Statham’s Oscar-winning EXPENDABLES co-star and acting icon Sylvester Stallone. It’s directed by Gary Fleder, best known for giving us the underrated THINGS TO DO IN DENVER WHEN YOU’RE DEAD and RUNAWAY JURY.
HOMEFRONT co-stars Winona Ryder, Kate Bosworth, Clancy Brown, Rachelle Lefevre and Frank Grillo.
