- 50Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperChicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThis is a well-made thriller traveling over awfully familiar turf.

- 38Slant MagazineAbhimanyu DasSlant MagazineAbhimanyu DasThe material plays out like a particularly busy episode of Sons of Anarchy, possessing a peculiar joylessness that's anathema to the success of films like this.
- 38McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreMcClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreThe Jason Statham vehicle Homefront is such a generic tough-guy-against-the-odds ’80s style actioner that you’d swear Sly Stallone starred in it. He did, back in the day. Or versions of it. This one, Stallone just scripted.
- 38Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsLine to line, Stallone has a particularly numbing penchant for the f-word. But the key f-word in Homefront is "familiar."
- 38Miami HeraldRene RodriguezMiami HeraldRene RodriguezHomefront is done in by uninspired action scenes in which Statham’s athletic prowess is rendered unwatchable by hyper-editing, a shameful reliance on child-in-peril cliches to move the story forward, and so many loose ends that you wonder if 20 minutes were accidentally cut out from the movie.
- 30VarietyScott FoundasVarietyScott FoundasWhat sounds like a veritable B-movie wet dream — with that master of the subzero scowl, Jason Statham, starring in a screenplay written by Sylvester Stallone — turns out to be considerably less than the sum of its parts.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyThe Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyHomefront is sufficiently silly and low-down to be entertaining on a certain marginal level, but it wouldn't appear that those involved, with the possible exception of Franco, approached this with the idea that they might be making good trash; it looks too elaborate and costly for that and the script exhibits no self-aware humor.
