Reading the novel in front of the house (Fire under the snowin VF) by Chuck Logan, published in 2005, which provokes the fight against drugs and especially against methamphetamine, Sylvester Stallone plans to adapt it as the fifth and final chapter of his Rambo saga.
Ultimately, the project was shelved to allow him to dedicate himself to Rocky Balboa. When Stallone revisited it in the early 2010s, he first planned to play the lead himself. But he is changing his mind about filming The Expendables 2: Special Victims Unit, preferring to offer the role to his partner Jason Statham, who is younger and fitter than him.
A perfect opportunity for the latter, already used to playing emotionless characters, to explore a new register in the shoes of a vulnerable father who dreams of leaving his past as an agent behind. Raising a daughter from the drug squad. .
Directed by Gary Fleder, Homefront thus offers a new side of the actor and surprises us thanks to a police intrigue centered on drug dealers and bikers (including a very cinematic Chuck Zito, ex-member of the Hells Angels!) in a deep glue. Louisiana, true detective style.
