Blood Father Movie Review Film Summary 2. Watch They Come To America Tube Free. When Mel Gibson was first becoming known as a film actor, he had a lot of obvious things going for him acting talent, good looks, ruggedness, a charisma that could land on either side of sly or menacing. In other words, arguably, all the stardom requisites. Blood Father Full Movie Part 1' title='Blood Father Full Movie Part 1' />But he was interesting beyond that, because of the movies he was in.

And when Gibson made his big Hollywood move in Lethal Weapon he did, although its tough to really remember it properly now, play a pretty odd variant of the risk everything cop hero. Advertisement. I dont need to rehash the personal explosions perpetrated by Gibson that, among other things, put his career in a kind of purgatory. I can infer, though, that a casual Gibson follower discovering that this week he stars in an action thriller called Blood Father might himself infer that Gibson is working his way out of that purgatory via the Nicolas Cage route of hastily conceived and assembled shoot em up hackwork. I am pleased to report this is not actually the case. Clocking in at a fat free 8. Blood Father, directed by Jean Franois Richet the man behind the Vincent Cassel gangster epic Mesrine is an efficient and pleasurable bad man tries to go good exposition that gives Gibson ample opportunity to flex his now somewhat grizzled movie star muscle. The movie opens with a shot of a young girl in a missing persons flyer, then cuts to a shot of a retail market conveyer belt moving lots of boxes of bullets, and finally a pack of bubblegum. The young woman buying the stuff, Lydia Erin Moriarty is the girl from the flyer when she asks that a pack of Camel Lights be added to her purchase, the cashier asks her for proof of age.

Lydia delivers the ammo to a car full of her shady pals, including a slicked down Diego Luna, and theyre off on a pretty bad misadventure. Cut to a closeup of Gibson, his very lined face partially covered by a very full beard, making a confession in an AA meeting. Gibsons ex con John Link is two years sober, has a vigilant sponsor named Kirby William H. Macy, and runs a tattoo parlor out of a big trailer in a very sparsely populated California trailer park. And on the corkboard at the entry of the trailer is, yep, that missing persons flyer with young Lydias picture on it. So you know whos going to be on the other end of the line when the phone rings.

On top of which hes not a man of meanstheres no arsenal stashed under the floorboards of his trailer. For a time hes got only his wits to live by, and those have been somewhat scrambled by his life circumstances, not to mention the sudden reunion. Year Of The Dog Full Movie. Its refreshing to hear father and daughter cuss each other out and have neither one pause to make a remark about bad mannersthey both speak the same profane language. Which isnt to say Gibsons character is any kind of permissive dad. When Link and Lydia check into a motel together, a google eyed young clerk Thomas Mann asks conspiratorially, Whered you find her In the delivery room, Gibson shoots back, implying with mere tone and speed all the ways hed kill the other guy if given an excuse. Just as the movie could use an infusion of villainy, Michael Parks turns up as a former criminal associate of Links who now sells Nazi memorabilia online from his desolate ranch, and Parks makes a meal of the part. The movie builds up a good head of steam before delivering a very satisfying wrap up, and the twist in the climax feels legitimate because Richet lets the audience understand that Links playing the only card hes got. Make what you will of how much Gibsons performance draws from his own wrestling of personal demons suffice it to say that the line You cant be a prick all your life and just say never mind has a sting that wouldnt be there in a movie he wasnt starring in.
