By: debbie lynn elias<\/strong><\/p>\n

There couldn\u2019t be a more appropriate film to hit theatres this Thanksgiving weekend than HOMEFRONT.\u00a0 Based on Chuck Logan\u2019s best selling novel, HOMEFRONT is rooted in hearth and home.\u00a0 Adapted for the screen by Sylvester Stallone, HOMEFRONT boasts a stellar cast, performances that go through the roof and a perfect blend of action and emotion, all expertly choreographed by director Gary Fleder.\u00a0 Led by Jason Statham and James Franco, each performance is as superb as the next, particularly when it comes to Kate Bosworth and the breakout star of the film, Izabela Vidovic.\u00a0 With emotion as electrifying as the action itself, HOMEFRONT brings it all home with a grounded story, well crafted and textured characters, and a father-daughter relationship that will make the eyes and hearts of every dad and daughter out there smile (and get a bit misty).<\/p>\n

\"homefront<\/p>\n

Phil Broker is a former DEA agent who, on the passing of his wife – and after a drug bust gone bad – together with his young daughter, has moved to a pastoral and bucolic town in the Louisiana bayou.\u00a0 Like the ex-lawmen of classic John Ford westerns, Broker now wants a quiet life, away from the guns, the drugs and the violence.\u00a0 He wants to grieve and grow and make a life for his daughter that is safe and happy.\u00a0 Unfortunately, Broker has had limited experience in \u201csmall town ways\u201d and quickly finds out that your business becomes everybody\u2019s business and everybody sticks their noses into everything, including each other\u2019s pockets.\u00a0 Such is the case when Broker\u2019s daughter gets bullied at school by the nephew of local meth manufacturer, Gator Bodine.\u00a0 Of course, Broker doesn\u2019t know Gator is a drug dealer and Gator doesn\u2019t know Broker is former DEA…at least for now.<\/p>\n

When Maddy Broker defends herself against Teddy Klum, all hell breaks loose as his parents, particularly his mother Cassie, demand recompense for Maddy\u2019s punch.\u00a0 But for a tweaked out mother like Cassie, an apology isn\u2019t going to suffice and she calls on brother Gator to \u201cmake Broker pay\u201d, leading to an all out feud between the Bodines and Brokers.\u00a0 Adding fuel to the fire is that not only is Broker still a lawman at heart, he is first and foremost a father.\u00a0 With the discovery of a drug lab in his new home, escalating violence at the hands of Gator and his boys, and the kidnapping of Maddy and her little kitten Luther, Broker is back in the saddle as no price is too high when it comes to protecting his home and his child.<\/p>\n

\"Homefront<\/p>\n

Jason Statham can do no wrong and I adore him more with every role.\u00a0 A man of few words on screen, his roles have been increasing with dialogue and taking him beyond a quiet man of action to a man with a heart.\u00a0 We saw that transformation start to emerge with Transporter 2<\/em> and his character\u2019s fierce protection of a young boy.\u00a0 Statham then took that paternal protective instinct a notch higher in Safe<\/em>.\u00a0 But now, with HOMEFRONT, he achieves a perfect blend of lawman and father with his emotion and story arc as vibrant and exciting as every punch he throws!\u00a0 Going toe-to-toe with Izabela Vidovic as daughter Maddy, Statham goes through the roof with emotion.\u00a0 Controlled, strong, fiercely protective and loyal, we see the action Statham we know and love as he goes \u201cmano y mano\u201d with James Franco and Gator\u2019s henchmen.\u00a0 But then the camera captures the intimate moments with Vidovic or the little black cat Luther, and Statham\u00a0 melts your heart.\u00a0\u00a0 There is not a moment you don’t believe that they are father and daughter.\u00a0 He has ruined the world for all other men with his performance as Broker.\u00a0 Flawed, emotional, a broken heart but always able to light up when he’s around his daughter, fine physical specimen.\u00a0 No man can ever hold a candle to Statham after this performance.<\/p>\n

STUNNING is Izabela Vidovic who is like a pint-sized female Statham.\u00a0 Emotion for emotion, move for move, smart ass look or response to mirror Statham, Vidovic is the real deal.\u00a0 And the chemistry between she and Statham is electric.\u00a0 Together they leave you begging for more.<\/p>\n

\"homefront<\/p>\n

When it comes to James Franco, what can I say but Franco is Franco is Franco – a delicious delight that you know will amp up the emotion with unpredictability and even a touch of humor.\u00a0 As Gator, he doesn’t disappoint.\u00a0 Discriminating in his performances, but so often known for the offbeat, darker twists of character, interesting is how Franco finds a level of humanity in the violent and unlikeable Gator.\u00a0 Describing HOMEFRONT as a \u201cwell-constructed movie\u201d with\u00a0 a \u201cgood villain that I could have a lot of fun with\u201d, Franco \u201cthought there were two key things to be brought out with Gator.\u00a0 In the original script I read, he did everything that was in the script, but he didn\u2019t really care about his sister.\u00a0 She was addicted to drugs and he would hold it over her head.\u00a0 So I went to the book. . .and realized that, in fact, there was a much more complex relationship to be had, that he actually loves his sister and cares about her and probably likes her more than she likes him. . .He wants to give her everything that he can, and it kills him that the thing that she wants is what he knows is killing her.\u00a0 I thought there\u2019s a more complex relationship.\u00a0 That will help humanize this character.\u201d\u00a0 The second prong for Franco was Winona Ryder\u2019s character, Gator\u2019s girlfriend Sheryl Mott.\u00a0 \u201cI thought it would be more interesting if he was insecure about this relationship, and it turns out she was seeing one of the other gangsters before, and it upsets Gator.\u00a0 I thought it would make it a little bit more unusual that he could be insecure in this relationship rather than just, \u201cI run this show,\u201d and that she\u2019s the boss of the relationship until the end.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Also important to Franco and his interpretation of Gator is that \u201cI think it helps serve the movie if he\u2019s not just a bad guy that\u2019s there as a device; that he is somebody that does bad things, and you don\u2019t condone his actions, but you can understand why he\u2019s doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"homefront<\/p>\n

Delivering one of the best performances of her career, if not the best, is Kate Bosworth.\u00a0 As tweaked out, drug dependent mother Cassie, Bosworth turns on a dime and goes from bitch to protective lioness.\u00a0 This is truly tour de force work that, quite honestly, warrants awards attention.\u00a0 For Bosworth, \u201cThe interest in playing this character was connecting to the humanity and to also not strip her of her dignity.\u201d\u00a0 Key to Bosworth\u2019s performance is her immersion into the physicality of the role.\u00a0 In order to achieve the drug-induced emaciated look necessary for Cassie, \u201cI got very little sleep.\u00a0 The physicality was something that the role required.\u00a0 She\u2019s someone who\u2019s abusing herself every day and that starts to take a toll. . . [we] wanted to make sure that she was far gone enough that there was a real danger to her physicality, and an edginess to her, and a discomfort, and constant agitation, but that she wasn\u2019t so far gone that there was not a point of no return.\u201d\u00a0 Bosworth succeeds in spades.<\/p>\n

2013 has been a good year for Winona Ryder, first with \u201cThe Iceman\u201d and now as Sheryl Mott in HOMEFRONT as Ryder delivers another powerhouse performance.\u00a0 What Ryder found interesting and tapped into in bringing Sheryl to life was \u201cthe fact that my character was actually not doing meth.\u00a0 She had done it, but she was part of this operation that was dealing.\u00a0 To me, that was as diabolical as you could get because she knows what happens.\u00a0 It happened to her.\u00a0 She knows how bad it gets.\u00a0 She knows it destroys lives.\u00a0 Yet she\u2019s sober and she\u2019s enabling and getting people [hooked].\u00a0 But of course, that comes from damage and severe pain . . .what these women had to go through to get into these biker gangs, which is pretty horrific and very degrading, you can\u2019t do something like that and not be an incredibly damaged person.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"homefront<\/p>\n

Some personal supporting faves buttress HOMEFRONT with authenticity and texture, starting with Frank Grillo.\u00a0 As drug dealer Cyrus, Grillo gets to excel at being an authoritative, violent ass.\u00a0 As we have seen time and again from Grillo, he adds this argumentative edge to his character that rubs folks the wrong way and fuels the fires of commanding attention.\u00a0 He does it again here as Cyrus steps outside the box and wants to do things his own way.\u00a0 Grillo really pushes the envelope to great effect.\u00a0 As the somewhat corrupted Sheriff Keith Rodrigue, Clancy Brown adds depth and reality to the flavor of small town structure.\u00a0 According to Brown, \u201cWhen I read the script, I thought, \u2018This is a helluva script.\u2019\u201d A real joy is Omar Benson Miller.\u00a0 Beyond charming in \u201cShall We Dance\u201d some years back, Miller can turn on a dime with character but he always connects with you as a viewer.\u00a0 As Broker\u2019s handyman carpenter and friend Tito, he has heart, he has loyalty.\u00a0 Through Tito and well crafted dialogue, the audience and Broker are brought up to speed on the redneck southern culture and the identity of the players. Miller is beyond likeable.<\/p>\n

Had I not known going in that Sylvester Stallone had written HOMEFRONT, I would have known within the first 15 minutes; and by film’s end there is no way in hell for someone not to know Stallone wrote this.\u00a0 He has a wonderful format of construct that has finally come into its own and matured as he has matured.\u00a0 Where his early Rocky<\/em> and Rambo<\/em> scripts focused on singular character with supporting characters somewhat peripheral and not given full construct, thanks in large part, I believe, to Expendables<\/em>, Stallone now not only has a full compliment of characters in HOMEFRONT, but each is fully developed and formed, nothing and no one is extraneous or gratuitous; every piece of dialogue is essential to the story and – very key with guys like Statham who is so delicious with smart-aleck retorts – is planted early in the film in one context, but then comes full circle to be reiterated in a different context that just takes the double entendre<\/em> to new levels.\u00a0 Stallone is masterful with the dialogue construct for the characters of Broker and Gator, playing to the verbal strengths of Statham and Franco.\u00a0 Delicious!\u00a0 As Statham notes, \u201cHe\u2019s such a prolific writer, and I think it\u2019s easy to forget how many films he\u2019s actually written.\u00a0 He really does care.\u00a0 He writes with a lot of heart.\u00a0 Instead of just concentrating on a couple of characters, he fills the whole story with great roles and he does it very, very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"homefront<\/p>\n

Moving the story location from Minnesota, as was the setting in Logan\u2019s book, to Louisiana was a brilliant decision, opening up the visuals and allowing for stronger visual and emotional bandwidth thanks to the very nature of the historical zeitgeist of the region ingrained in public consciousness.\u00a0 We immediately buy into the redneck meth lab and the idea that everyone in these small backwater towns takes the law into their own hands.\u00a0 Stallone brings HOMEFRONT literally to our own backdoor.<\/p>\n

What stands out with the script is the father-daughter dynamic, obviously something that Stallone was attracted to.\u00a0 Family is a core theme in HOMEFRONT – the family of the biker gang \u201cThe Outcasts\u201d, the family of Broker and Maddy, the trailer trash family of Cassie and Jimmy Blum, not to mention Gator Bodine, and even the “family” connection of Sheryl and Gator.\u00a0 Family is the core.\u00a0 Even Luther the kitty is an important part of the Broker family!<\/p>\n

One of the most appreciative aspects of the script is that Stallone doesn\u2019t leave us hanging.\u00a0 There is a full and satisfying resolution to every character and every sub-plot of HOMEFRONT, none of which I am going to disclose, but suffice it to say, you won\u2019t be scratching your head wondering what happened to whom.<\/p>\n

\"homefront<\/p>\n

But let’s talk about director Gary Fleder and the design of the film.\u00a0 Fleder knows how to manage tension.\u00a0 We saw it more than a decade ago with Don\u2019t Say A Word<\/em> and even moreso with Kiss the Girls<\/em>.\u00a0 Fleder uses visual design to upset the apple cart and keep the audience off guard while propelling character and story ever forward, and with HOMEFRONT he does it beautifully.\u00a0 Thanks to well crafted characters and plausible plot points, Fleder plays with us as the intricacies of the different revenges play out.\u00a0 Critical is Pat McKinley\u2019s editing which holds the pacing.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gotta love the fact that, as with most Statham films, there is a lot of hand-to-hand action with minimal explosions driving the story or action.\u00a0 It’s that personal connection, the thud of a fist landing a punch or bones cracking that immerse one in the scene, something that Fleder uses to storytelling advantage here.\u00a0 (In that regard, big “Whoo Hoo” for the stunt guys led by Brad Martin.\u00a0 And a nod to the legendary Epper family who have a few family members kicking some ass in here doing stunts….ah, that word “family” again!)<\/p>\n

With the exception of possibly High Crimes<\/em>,\u00a0 cinematographer Theo Van de Sande lights and lenses with a singular tone within a film.\u00a0\u00a0 Be it Once Around<\/em>, Volcano<\/em> or even Beauty Shop<\/em>, each Van de Sande film has a distinct visual look that carries through the whole film.\u00a0 With HOMEFRONT, he really mixes it up capturing and celebrating the beauty and tranquility of the deep south with the Broker home, the river, the trees dripping with Spanish moss, delicacy of the sunlight streaming through the trees, capturing the milkweed floating on rays of the sun.\u00a0 Then, Fleder and Van de Sande throw us off balance with the rich saturation of Gator’s boat shop and meth lab and then yet another tonal contrast with the opening DEA raid that’s dark, murky, ashen.\u00a0 Yet, despite the differing tones, all are symbiotic and feel related within the context of this story, fueling the familial feuds with rich visual subtext. Giving Van de Sande full kudos, Fleder notes, \u201cI think the film is beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"homefront<\/p>\n

Thanks to production designer Greg Berry, attention to detail is meticulous – from the meth lab and Broker’s sabotage of it, to the horse stables to the yellow daisy’s on Maddy’s sheets.\u00a0 No detail is overlooked in establishing who each and every character and demographic is.\u00a0 Important to director Fleder was \u201cto get a film that felt like it wasn\u2019t again a cartoon or caricature, but really felt like it was a real place.\u00a0 Gator\u2019s barn, which is an amazing set, was built from nothing.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t there.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t some location.\u00a0 In fact, when Jason walked in the first day of shooting, he said, \u2018How long has this been here?\u2019\u00a0 I said, \u2018A week, two weeks.\u2019\u00a0 Literally, it\u2019s an astonishing collaboration between designer and DP [Van de Sande]. . . For me, as a director, finding locations, rather than looking for what\u2019s in my head, the thing is to look around and to see what\u2019s out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

As much heart-pounding action as heart-stopping emotion, HOMEFRONT brings it home with action and heart.<\/p>\n
