Jason Statham’s 100-Minute Guilty Pleasure Action Thriller Is Leaving Netflix Soon

by

You don’t have much time left to watch a great movie starring a popular actor – it’s one of his hidden gems!

Jason Statham is a reliable draw at the box office, but his movies really shine on streaming services. His films aren’t usually massive blockbusters that need to be seen in theaters, making them perfect for watching on any device. Statham’s popularity as a streaming favorite is also due to the large number of movies he’s made – and continues to make – ensuring there’s always new content available for streaming platforms looking to attract viewers with his popular action films.

As a big Jason Statham fan, I’m always checking what’s available on streaming services like Netflix. It’s a great place to find his movies, but things change! I just heard that Homefront, one of his more intense action thrillers, is leaving Netflix on April 30th, which is a bit of a bummer.

Originally, the movie Homefront, which came out in 2013, was planned as another installment in the Rambo series starring Sylvester Stallone. However, the project was later changed, and Jason Statham, who had previously worked with Stallone on The Expendables, took on the lead role instead.

The movie feels like an older-style action film and didn’t impress most critics, earning a 42% score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, general audiences enjoyed it more, giving it a 61% audience score on the same site. Released in 2013, the film made $51 million at the box office, which was a modest return considering its $22 million budget.

Reviews of Homefront, as reported by RT, generally commend the acting – featuring Jason Statham, James Franco, Winona Ryder, and Frank Grillo – but find the movie to be a fairly standard action film that delivers on expectations without being particularly innovative.

In 2025, ScreenRant reviewed the film Homefront, placing it at number 9 on their list of Jason Statham’s top R-rated action movies. They noted the film had a darker, more intense feel thanks to its gritty tone, and praised Statham’s performance, particularly his believable and touching portrayal of a father figure and his interactions with his on-screen daughter.

In ScreenRant’s 2023 ranking of Jason Statham’s action films, Homefront landed at number 15. The review noted the movie is a fairly standard thriller, but praised its strong cast and well-executed action sequences.

Fans who want to see everything Jason Statham has done have a limited time to watch his action movie, Homefront, on Netflix before it’s removed and becomes available on a different streaming service.
