Bullet to Stallone's saggy-vein head, as well as that movie with the British Vin Diesel

Bullet to the Head:

Story:

When his partner is brutally killed, a hitman goes on a killing spree to get revenge on those who wronged him.

Review:

While Bullet to the Head isn't one of Stallone's better movies, it certainly does have its moments. Humor is mixed in with the endless amount of blood and fists that mix together to create Bullet to the Head.

What I liked the most:

1. The action.

Nothing defines an action movie quite like, well, the action. And the action in Bullet to the Head is pretty awesome. Fist fights are raw and intense and gun fights have near endless amounts of blood. Very entertaining.

2. The humour.

There is some true raw humour in Bullet to the Head, which helped lighten the tension in some scenes. Some offensive humour, and some less-offensive, but overall great.

3. Stallone.

While his slurred speech is starting to become an irritation to listen to, Stallone is at the top of his game. He's aggressively badass yet human at the same time. Basically staying true to Stallone form.

What I like the least:

1. Stallone's slurred speech.

I know this should be more of a personal dislike than a movie-oriented dislike, but I can't take an actor seriously when he sounds like he's drunk in every scene. That is possibly the most annoying part of the whole movie.

2. Plot pacing.

This is becoming a serious problem in action movies, when the directors and writers just decide to throw everything in with no regards to pacing. Everything seemed scattered and all over the place. The story was linear, but it kept spontaneously going from fast to slow to fast to slow.

Who I recommend Bullet to the Head to:

Anyone who likes action films.

Parker:

Story:

After a robbery goes awry, a professional thief is left for dead on the side of the road. Seeking retribution, he goes after the group that cut him off of his profits.

Review:

Finally a Jason Statham movie where Jason Statham isn't always Jason Statham! This is also one of those films that's actually more than the trailer implies.

What I liked the most:

1. Jason Statham's non-Jason Statham-ness.

Statham has a very limited acting range, as one sees from a lot of his movies, so it was refreshing to finally watch a movie where he changes his style just a bit, and goes outside of his range even if it's just for a few mere moments.

2. Every actor/actresses other than Jennifer Lopez performance:

I know J.Lo was going through a rough patch during the filming, but every other actor outdid her performance. Even Michael Chiklis, and I'm not a big fan of Chiklis' 'acting'.

What I liked the least:

1. The story.

Even with some eccentric characters, the story was just a bit too typical for my tastes. Sure, there were moments when it shined, but there weren't a lot.

2. Jennifer Lopez:

Again, I know she was going through a rough time, but she's been an actress for long enough that she should be able to put aside her personal life long enough to make it through filming a movie. It was disappointing since she's been a good actress in previous films.

Who I recommend Parker to:

If you like action movies that aren't dumb but aren't too intelligent to be a run-of-the-mill action film, then Parker is the movie for you. Jason Statham does a really good job in this one.
