Well, this was much better than I expected it to be. What did I expect? An action movie with numerous unbelievable action scenes strung together with a weak plot and supported by poor acting. I thought it would be a movie that Mel chose to act in because he needed money to pay his alimony. Yes, it was an action movie, more or less, and maybe a few scenes stretched credulity. However, there was much more depth to the plot as Mel, the gritty, ex-con father of a troubled teen, tries to do what he can to get some redemption. I have to say one thing about Mel, the guy can act. I had my doubts after watching a few of his more recent flicks, but this character seemed perfectly written for him. The supporting cast was also good and gave the movie more depth than most action films. And, what we all want in such films, the bad guys were bad. It's a compelling watch and a good way to spend an evening.

Mel Gibson really needs a last chance to do movies since he is dismissed Warner Bros movie company, it's sad but this movie is made buy different company. this is still great movie,fun, crazy Performance from Mel Gibson Performance Little mix Country for old man Little bit of Mad Max and Run All Night western type Action Drama movie. you could say it's more Action, Crazy, Gore lots of violence in movie. Plot follows Lydia(Erin Moriarty)she is with gang and her boyfriend Jonah (Diego Luna)was going into some random family house gang is just breaking in looking for what they want, rather then Jonah told Lydia to shot mother but she shot her Jonah her boyfriend she run to call John Link (Mel Gibson)who was EX American Solider who use to be on Drugs and drinking is now lives on trailer Park he's living is tattooing people makes money out of it. he pick up phone it was his lost daughter he runs pick's her up. he release's that his daughter habituated to drugs and Alcohol, Lydia has text threats messages gang comes in they want Lydia Mel Gibson say's go away but they don't obey they chose to kill him and take his daughter but they don't know who they are messing with so John and Lydia on run he ends up shooting going crazy, still likable character but he has a lot of problems on past but he is not bad guy similar to Liam nession character from run all night who has a lot problems on past, so Jonah and his man and hit-man is called Sicario went out there to kill Lydia and John but john keeps killing hit-man they keep on running and running until he will kill them all to product his daughter. very worth watching movie to watch badass bike 1997 Harley-Davidson Softail with Badass Scene firing double barrel shotgun it's like watching Mad Max sequel with same scene in mad max with bike chasing and one of action scenes fun to watch it's very fast pace of movie normal pace, you have crazy scene of Mel Gibson with Michael Parks very great crazy mad performance but i don't want to ruin movie away. a lot of scenes are bloody and gore not because its called blood father that's how action movies are made. The Action is very good noting like mad max just Similar movie to this with Picture of camera film Mel Gibson has gone crazy, great performance but still i want Hollywood to hire Mel Gibson give him a last chance for movies like this and mad max franchise 9.10 i would recommend it for action fans if you love Mel Gibson and his movies or movies like run all night Similar more of no country for old man and mad max to run all night.

Mel Gibson gives it his all in Blood Father as John Link (sort of sounds like John Wick, eh?), the gristly ex-con living in a trailer and struggling to stay on the wagon. Erin Moriarty also gives a good performance as the young Lydia, John's estranged daughter, who looks him up because she needs help when some real baddies are after her. It's not fair to compare this film to Taken, because John Link is no indestructible super-hero who can kung-fu his way out of any situation. He's just a regular guy who happens to be a bad ass. If you wanted to compare this to a Liam Neesum action film, probably Run All Night would be more appropriate; but in reality, this is sort of a throw back to the low budget action films of the 70s, and it reminded me in tone to films such as Race With the Devil. On the other hand, this isn't pure over the top action either. There's a lot of time spent on the rekindling of the relationship between father and daughter, and all the action is presented within a somewhat realistic text. I thought a little bit more extreme action couldn't have hurt, and that was what I was prepared for early on during the siege of John's trailer, but other than the grand finale at the end, all the action in the middle was quite subdued. But that's okay, because this isn't a John Woo film. It's a film where Mel Gibson gets to remind us why he's a great actor and it's a film that delivers a couple of good life lessons, and, hey, William H. Macy is even thrown in for good measure. I enjoyed it.

After years of hard-drinking and heavily publicised, hateful rants, Mel Gibson has seen his career plunge from the A-list to the, well, non-existent list. He was once one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood, handsome enough to draw a female audience with lighthearted rom-coms, and suitably bad-ass enough to tackle the meatier action roles. He of course only has himself to blame, but Gibson has been slowly and quietly carving himself a niche with the few features he's done over past few the years - Edge of Darkness (2010), How I Spent My Summer Vacation (2012) - as a gruff enforcer not necessarily on the right side of the law. With Jean-Francois Richet's Blood Father, the years of hard living etched on Gibson's face have never served him better. His character John Link, the recovering alcoholic ex-con getting by as a tattoo artist in a trailer park, acknowledges his past mistakes in the opening scene at an AA meeting, almost as if Gibson himself is pleading forgiveness for his behaviour. He is trying to live straight and keep his parole officer happy, but his peaceful existence is soon turned on its head when his daughter Lydia (Erin Moriarty), missing for years, turns up with the police and a Mexican cartel hunting her down. Fearing losing the daughter he failed when she was still a child, John takes her on the road and uses the skills he learned as a criminal to keep her out of harm's way. With Mad Max (1979) clearly serving as an inspiration, Blood Father is pure B-movie exploitation. It's the kind of film you could imagine being made in the 70's with Peter Fonda in the lead role and Roger Corman producing. That said, and despite the odd explosion of action and violence, the focus is mainly on character. While this would normally be a good thing, it does so via every cliché imaginable. There's the wanted posters, news reports in dingy hotel rooms, changing of hair colour, and a climactic shoot-out, and it frequently felt like I had seen the film before. It's best when at its most furious, racking up the tension as Link faces a neo-Nazi biker gang and Lydia's drug-lord ex-boyfriend Jonah (Diego Luna). It might just be enough for Hollywood to embrace Gibson again, and from his performance here, I realised just how much I miss him.

Blood Father has received a lot of good reviews & it was good to see Mel Gibson back in action but overall the film was a bit of a let down. First of all, the story is very basic, almost non existent. The chemistry between Link (Gibson) & his daughter was somewhat lacking considering he supposedly hasn't seen her for years. They acted like she had gone missing for a few hours and all the trouble with the drug dealers didn't seem to be taken too seriously. My main problem with the film was the dialogue which had me cringing on quite a few occasions. It was like they was trying to add some comedy to the film and it was all a bit unnecessary. The action scenes were decent and the bit at the end with the explosion and car fight was pretty memorable. Some of the scenery shots were done extremely well also. But overall the characters were just unbelievable and I didn't connect with either of them. Mel had a few scenes where he kicks ass but the film overall is just lacking in terms of story. Despite it's flaws, at 85-90 minutes its worth a watch and I'm sure fans of Gibson and action films in general will enjoy it. 6/10.

BLOOD FATHER is an intense little action thriller that also happens to be Mel Gibson's best film as an actor since EDGE OF DARKNESS. The plot is nothing special and sees Gibson playing the usual eccentric hard-bitten type, living in a trailer and estranged from his family. His daughter's involvement with a gang of Mexican drug dealers sees her returning to him to ask from his help, and a chase scenario unfolds from there. This film is well-shot throughout and efficiently low key. Instead of the fun but over the top mayhem of a JOHN WICK film, in which our protagonist bumps off hundreds of foes effortlessly, Gibson and co. just have five or six tough types ranged against them. The running time is short and the pace snappy, full of hard-bitten dialogue and decent performances from a supporting cast including Michael Parks, Diego Luna, William H. Macy, and Miguel Sandoval. Another treat is that Erin Moriarty isn't your stereotypical whining, bratty adolescent but instead an intelligent-thinking adult too. Gibson is on top form, as always, and the brief but violent bouts of action are expertly staged.
