An underrated action movie is airing on TV tonight

It comes from the director of 48 Hrs and The Warriors.

In the film, the Hollywood legend plays a veteran hitman in New Orleans who forms an uneasy alliance with a detective (Sung Kang) in order to take down a common enemy (Jason Momoa).

Based on a French graphic novel and directed by legendary filmmaker Walter Hill (48 Hrs, The Driver, The Warriors), Bullet to the Head was a box office disappointment upon release with the movie reportedly grossing less than half its budget in cinemas.

It's a shame because Stallone's commanding performance, along with the film's appealingly pulpy story and solid action set-pieces, should have found a larger audience.

Bullet to the Head is airing on TV on Legend at 9pm. It is also available to stream on Sky Movies.
