First Look: Now, for ‘Bullet’ points

What: "Bullet to the Head"

When: Opening Friday

Cast: Sylvester Stallone, Sung Kang, Sarah Shahi, Christian Slater, John Seda and Jason Momoa

Director: Walter Hill

The story: A New Orleans hitman (Stallone) partners with a Washington, D.C., detective (Kang) to avenge their partners' killings in this adaptation of the graphic novel "Du Plomb Dans La Tete."

The buzz: Here's hoping it performs better than Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The Last Stand" or "The Tomb" - the September movie starring the aging action veterans - may end up being buried for good.
