Blood Father | Rotten Tomatoes
- ️Fri Aug 12 2016
Blood Father meets every expectation a film fan could have for a latter-day Mel Gibson action thriller with its title -- and even, in some respects, handily exceeds them.
Jeremy A I loved this movie. Mel was awesome as usual. Lots of entertainment and action. 4.5* Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Kyle J Just terrible: Mel’s overacting, the trite story, the too-much-talk-in-a-shoot-em-up script. HOWEVER, if yer still in middle-school and barely make Cs, you MIGHT like it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review Diogo S Mel Gibson gives a magnificent performance!! The story is simple but the execution is perfect and the acting really makes the movie, specially Gibson, a very underrated actor, who really elevates the movie whith his nuanced and at the same time powerful performance, you completely buy his rage and his regrets, the fact Gibson himself shares a lot with the character when it comes to atonemnt for past sins only helps an already fantastic performance. If the world was fair Mel would have won acting awards for such a tour de force !!! The father-son chemistry was pretty good and the action top notch! But don´t be confused, this is not an action movie, this is a superb drama where character´s study shines and that is complemented with great action sequences with old mad max of course... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/20/24 Full Review Richard B Mel Gibson always good to see in movies, one of the best living actor Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review Willy W A taut, well-acted, relationship-focused redemptive action flick with some clever lines and dialogue. Better than the violence-glorifying and CGI-laden fare that's so common nowadays in the genre. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review T T It was a very engaging and entertaining movie. Mel Gibson did a good job. Good plot and acting overall. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
