Blood Father Trailer 

Mel Gibson’s latest is a rip-roaring thrill ride that shows exactly who you don’t mess with.

Gritty, dirty and dangerous, director Jean-François Richet’s action thriller Blood Father promises an adrenaline rush with its first blood-and-mud-spattered trailer. 

Starring Mel Gibson, Erin Moriarty, William H. Macy, Elisabeth Röhm, Thomas Mann, Diego Luna and Michael Parks, and produced by Chris Briggs with Why Not Productions, Blood Father is based on the novel of the same name by Peter Craig (who also wrote the screenplay). It has that vintage sepia-tinged feel of a 70s grindhouse movie that gives it the ominous cast of something really sinister lurking in the trailer park. 

Ex-con tattoo artist John Link (Gibson) has abandoned alcohol and the Hell’s Angels for his trailer-run tattoo parlor in an effort to stay sober and out of handcuffs. His only friend in this desolate existence is co-deadbeat Kirby (Macy). When Link gets a call from estranged daughter Lydia Carson (Moriarty), for most of whose life he’s been behind bars with manslaughter charges, he is thrown into a firestorm of events that blazes with fury. The teen meth addict has just witnessed a savage murder committed by her boyfriend, Jonah (Diego Luna). She also thinks she may or may not have killed Jonah herself—and now his thug friends are foaming at the mouth to kill her.

Link soon realizes that his high school dropout daughter has somehow gotten herself entangled with a faction of the Mexican mafia who can only keep Lydia from talking to the police with a shot to the head. They set off on a rollicking ride through the middle of nowhere that Variety describes as “90 hardened minutes of shotgun mayhem, drug goons with tattoos up to their throats, and a general dirty meanness.” The thugs who think no one messes with them fail to realize one thing as break numerous speed limits to gun down Link—exactly who they happen to be messing with.   

Blood Father goes off with a bang on August 12th

I watched this last night and it wasn't half bad. I only wish it went for a half hour longer to tell a deeper story, felt a little rushed but still, a pretty decent movie. I give it 7 out of 10.
