Aside from its hilariously unsubtle title, Bullet to the Head (in theaters tomorrow) has one major thing going for it: It's action movie titan Sylvester Stallone's R-rated return to tough guy cinema, the kind that doesn't co-star all of his peers like some weird AARP ad (see: The Expendables and its 2012 sequel). Stallone, looking more grizzled than ever, plays a hitman who's hell-bent on avenging the murder of his partner. Standing in his way is a similarly large but much younger villain named Keegan, played by Jason Momoa.
Fans of HBO's Game of Thrones will remember the Hawaii-born Momoa as the ruthless Khal Drogo from the show's triumphant first season. A far less number of unfortunate people will also recall that he portrayed the title character in the awful 2011 remake of Conan the Barbarian.
In many studio executives' eyes, Momoa was on track to become the heir apparent to guys like Arnold Schwarzenegger and his future Bullet to the Head cast-mate Sly Stallone. That didn't happen, nor, it's safe to say, will it ever.
Momoa isn't alone in such failed efforts, though, as you'll learn by reading up on Hollywood's 10 Worst Attempts to Manufacture the Next Great Action Hero.

number oneon this list at all?Edited at 2013-01-31 10:05 pm (UTC)
i thought he'd be number one for sure after his year last year
bloop
Meanwhile, Penn Badgley (who apparently is great in the new Jeff Buckley biopic) was making out on the other side of the dance floor with girlfriend Zoe Kravitz. Not a huge deal, except that Kravitz’s de facto stepdad—Khal Drogo of Game of Thrones fame—was standing there watching the whole scene. Drogo, whose real-life name is Jason Momoa, is the partner of Kravitz’s mom, Lisa Bonet. Oh, and when he went to leave (because, really, how long do you want to watch your stepdaughter suck face?), Zoe gave him a big old kiss-on-the-mouth goodbye. Guess they’re just that kind of family.
...idk what's going on
Edit: And this. Kinda sounds like she's drunk. Hopefully.

he's still doing F&F movies so idk if it's totally failed.
I mean, he seems nice enough but he's not good
flawless show tbh
oh that and Scream Queens
Sam Worthington belongs in this list
Also Jeremy Renner is too ugly to be a leading man not sorry to say
When I saw the trailer with Perry, I LMFAO. God, he's not even a poor man's Morgan Freeman.
Idris would have been awesome.
