Bullet to the Head Ratings & Reviews
Kevin Loewen
June 25, 2025
It was the wrong movie.
Boston Phoenix
Monica Castillo
Don't bother with plot coherence or plausibility - if you're going to a Stallone film for logic, then you're in the wrong theater.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
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.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
On its own degenerate terms, the movie works.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
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.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
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.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
Stallone can still be entertaining, but here he's got no character to play, nothing fun to say, and the craziest hair/hairpiece/scalp growth this side of John Travolta.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
Failing as a buddy movie, one might consider this an action yarn, but its content isn't so much action as violence-extreme violence, which I found deadening.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
In "Bullet to the Head" violence is abrupt, shattering and consequential. It's not for laughs. It's graphic and unsettling, and it makes us feel uneasy, as we should, about the world the characters inhabit.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
All sorts of blockheaded action thrillers rolled into one, with occasional mentions of "flash drives" so you know it's not actually a script from 1986.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Entertaining if nonsensical ...
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Plays like such a floundering exercise in macho overcompensation that you almost feel sorry for it. Almost.
ScreenCrush
Matt Singer
A buddy cop movie needs two equal and opposing forces; 48 Hrs. doesn't work if Nolte overpowers Murphy, which is exactly what happens here.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"Bullet to the Head" is an adrenaline shot to your movie memory if the blunt, gleefully dumb, no-nonsense ways of '80s-style action flicks are your nostalgia drug of choice.
Austin Chronicle
Louis Black
A soap-opera-predictable cavalcade of violence.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
By the end I could have used a Bulleit to the mouth.
USA Today
Scott Bowles
[Its] sole redeeming quality is that it ends. Eventually.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
No one here seems to notice that there's not much going on, including Mr. Stallone, which somehow makes it easier to watch.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
The plot fails to deliver a single surprise ... and the characterizations are thin even by the standards of the tough-guy genre.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
The magic is in the details, from the little surprises to the colorful casting.
