SYNOPSIS

Scripted by Alessandro Camon and based on the graphic novel Bullet to the Head, written by Matz and illustrated by Colin Wilson, this film tells the story of a New Orleans hitman (Stallone) who teams with a New York City detective in a high-stakes investigation that leads from the dingy back alleys of New Orleans all the way to the power corridors of Washington, D.C. The unlikely duo, brought together by two vicious murders, take on all who stand in their way, and are willing to sacrifice everything to exact revenge.
