Intrigued by this stranger, Gator investigates Broker. Gator sends two goons to rough up Broker, but Broker handles them pretty easily as well. So, she turns to her mean brother, Gator Bodine, the local drug dealer. She gets even more furious when Broker knocks down her husband when she eggs him to start a fight with Broker. The boy’s mother is furious about what happened. Broker wants his daughter to be able to have her own horse to ride, and that’s just what she does.īroker has trained Maddy to defend herself and so, when a schoolboy bully knocks her down, she breaks his nose. Two years later or so, Broker’s wife has died, and he’s retired, so he and his 10-year-old daughter, Maddy, move to a small town in the Louisiana bayou. In the process, however, the leader’s son gets killed, and the leader vows revenge. The movie opens with DEA agent Phil Broker helping take down an evil biker gang selling drugs. Though this plot has an inherent moral character to it, HOMEFRONT has a lot of strong foul language that takes away from the experience. In this instance, it’s a former undercover policeman trying to protect his daughter from drug dealers linked to a previous case. HOMEFRONT is the classic, archetypal American plot of a woman and/or a child threatened by dark forces. HOMEFRONT is designed like a modern-day western, but it’s inappropriate for families.

However, outweighing the positives are abundant foul language, very strong violence, and a brief sex scene. So, the movie has a strong moral worldview. There are good guys and bad guys in HOMEFRONT. Jason Statham shows a different side to his persona, as does James Franco as the local meth kingpin. HOMEFRONT is very suspenseful, with lots of intense action and some interesting characters. The leader sends more goons to kill Broker and his daughter. He makes a deal with the jailed leader of the biker gang that Broker put in jail.

Intrigued, Gator investigates Broker’s past. He sends two goons to straighten Broker out, but they don’t fare so well either. She seeks help from her crazy brother, Gator, who’s been dealing meth in cahoots with the local sheriff. An altercation with a school bully and the bully’s father enrages the father’s wife. HOMEFRONT stars Jason Statham as Phil Broker, a retired undercover narcotics officer who moves his 10-year-old daughter to a quiet Louisiana town after his wife dies.
