Why watch this film?
"Homefront," directed by Gary Fleder, is an action-packed thriller that follows a former DEA agent, Phil Broker (Jason Statham), who moves to a small town to start a new life with his daughter. However, things take a turn for the worse when he becomes entangled with a dangerous drug lord, Gator Bodine (James Franco). The movie boasts a talented cast, including Winona Ryder and Kate Bosworth, but unfortunately falls short in terms of originality. While it tries to pay homage to classic action thrillers, it fails to add anything new to the genre. The plot is predictable, and the characters lack depth, making it difficult for the audience to fully invest in their journey. However, the movie does deliver on the action front, with well-choreographed fight scenes and intense car chases. Overall, "Homefront" is an entertaining but forgettable movie that will satisfy action fans but may leave others disappointed.

Action
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One - A fast-paced action, mystery and thriller film that follows a young woman with impressive telekinetic powers, desperately fighting for her life while unraveling the mysteries of her past, pursued by unscrupulous killers. With Blue Dragon Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Seo Eun-su) and Best New Actress (Cynthia), this film captures the protagonist's intense battle to find answers and justice, facing not only her persecutors, but also to his own inner demons.
Bloodsport
Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the descriptively titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite, a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world…a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux, who serves as the film's fight coordinator.
War on Terror: KL Anarchy
Khalid, a rebellious cop from an elite special force must prove he is able to work as a team in order to thwart terrorist threats to bring down Kuala Lumpur.
The Order
In The Order, Van Damme plays a man accused of murder who seeks a sacred scripture in Jerusalem before it falls into the wrong hands, jeopardizing his freedom. With shades of Dan Brown and a script by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, alongside Les Weldon (screenwriter of another action star film, Replicant), the movie is what every fan of the Belgian actor wants: brawling, with a fun plot, and never boring.
