  • Overview

    Phil Broker is a former DEA agent who has gone through a crisis after his action against a biker gang went horribly wrong and it cost the life of his boss' son. He is recently widowed and is left with a 9-years-old daughter, Maddy. He decides to quit the turbulent and demanding life of thrill for Maddy's sake and retires to a small town. His daughter fights off a boy who was bullying her at school and this sets in motion a round of events that end in his direct confrontation with the local Meth drug lord. His past history with the biker gang also enters the arena, making matters more complex. But he has a mission in his mind to protect his daughter and he is ready to pay any cost that it demands.

Roger Ebert

Gary Fleder directs this pulpy action drama like he gives a damn. In a movie where every shove, kick and door slam sounds like ten cannons, there's also a moving and believable father-daughter relationship.

Variety

"It’s a bit like Appalachia: You can go from two kids in a fistfight to the emergency room real fast," advises one concerned citizen in “Homefront,”

The Guardian

Homefront has a pedigree that promises something special, but the results are solidly ordinary.

The Guardian

director Gary Fleder – a dab hand with knotty, workable pulp (Kiss the Girls, Runaway Jury) – proves admirably patient in revealing character and place

Common Sense Media

The movie is very violent, with the young girl in peril, and abducted, in several scenes. There's also frequent fighting and/or shooting, with dead bodies and blood.

We Are Movie Geeks

Yeah, this is a goofball, grindhouse flick...but if you’re just looking to relax your brain...then HOMEFRONT may be just as tasty as Mom’s warm pumpkin pie.

IMDb

Homefront truly is boosted higher by good performances by the cast. Winona Ryder really did a great job as the skanky bad girl Sheryl, she and James Franco had a really good chemistry.

Rotten Tomatoes

Aside from a puzzling name, this is a movie with no pretention, that isn't trying to be anything that it isn't.
