So Sly’s new action movie, “Bullet to the Head” directed by Walter Hill, comes out this Friday, and yes, I will probably end up going to check it out. Only thing though, this is the first Sly action film that has nothing to do with Rambo or the Expendables, in a long long while. Before Sly brought Rocky, Rambo back to the big screen, he was in a big career slump. Then after the success of Rocky and Rambo, he brought us the Expendables with two movies.
Could Sly still be the box office king with “Bullet to the Head”? Not so sure about that one, honestly. This film could be a potential bomb. Not saying it will suck, it’s probably gonna be a badass action flick, but I don’t think Sly will be the box office king outside of Rambo & The Expendables. Who knows, though. Maybe, “Bullet” will do good in box office.
Sly has another movie coming out later this year called, “The Tomb”, in which he stars with Arnold.
A lot of people want to mistakenly think that Sly doesn’t care to be a successful actor, but of course, he does. The man works real hard, and he does take his work seriously. When an actor does a movie, you can never tell whether it will be a hit or a bomb. I’ll admit that Sly has made many bad flicks like, “Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot”, “Rhinestone”, “Judge Dredd”, “The Specialist”, “Driven”, etc., but that’s not his fault. The man even admits that he doesn’t like some of the movies he’s starred in as well.
Sly is still my favorite actor. I just think the man is a badass. He looks cool and I enjoy his acting style. The man is an inspiration to me, and I still hope to one day, meet him in person.
