Homefront beats up the bad guys on Blu-ray but there’s no getting around the problems of this leaden, bloodless adaptation of the Chuck Logan novel. Fans of Jason Statham or Sylvester Stallone should be cautioned that this is not the 80s action movie throwback they’ve been promised in the various trailers and publicity. What we have here, sadly, is a misfired attempt to translate the Phil Broker novels into a current actioner – with a series of poor choices undermining the whole enterprise. Between the casting, the writing, the direction, and even the use of location, the movie just doesn’t come together. The Blu-ray presentation provides solid picture and sound, along with a small collection of deleted material and a quickie featurette as its only extras.
