What a miserable 90 minutes. GD it, guys, you got me.
The bright spot? I got the senior discount on my ticket.
What a ing mess. I only permitted myself to see that still of Gibson sitting in front of his trailer and the three bad guys approaching. Coupled with the support of the movie by the fellows here I was primed.
The daughter cannot act. The actor must suck , a lot of it.
The plot is thin. Who gives, or would give a about the girl, or, her dad? They don't know .
Of course we had to address gun control & illegals. Gibson has obviously seen the light & sold out.
I will never learn.

I get it. It's a cartoon. You should check out Ben Hur then. I hear it's fantastic.
Not with a gun to my head.
Blood Father okay-good. Certainly not great, certainly not crappy.
6.75, go ahead and round it up to 7/10 if you wish.
Casting was very good. Mel never did (that I know of) cater to the Hollywood got overlords who control most films and we know he certainly doesn't now.
I like it when characters who are supposed to be tough guys look tough, or at least can act tough enough to fit the hard guy/criminal roles. Blood Father delivers on this front.
If possible, I suggest you view it with sub les on. A bit annoying in that the volume jumps around and some of the dialogue which involves plot development does the low volume/mumbling thing. Annoying.
In these good guy vs bad guy plots, I always like it when to get over on bad guy the films do not resort to some completely unbelievable escapes to exalt Good Guy. Often times the up-until-then evil genius had used a very intelligent, albeit evil and/or violent means method to get over. Then films will show some incredibly stupid blunder on their part to free up our hero(s). While Blood Father has a bit of the unrealistic Great Escapes, all in all not too shabby.
Spoilers below. If you have seen it, please let me know.
Plot development I have a problem with is the start.
1. When the druggie punk asses start attacking Mels mobile home, Mel stabs one of these es as the put his hand thru the window. es now retreating to their pickup truck, Mel has a clear shot at all 3 of them but just fires warning shots, missing on purpose. What was up with that?
1a. When Mels neighbor and AA sponsor hears Mels under attack, he rounds up the neighborhood posse and they surround the 3 es. But like Mel, they let them go. What was up with that?
Mel about to have 9th child, this 9th one with *girlfriend* 26 year old Rosalind Ross. Not sure if she is on a monthly salary or will just get it in healthy child support. I'm assuming Mel did the paperwork properly after that Russian skank Oksana Grigorieva tried to fleece him.
Mel Gibson has made solid movies. Lethal Weapon movies, Mad Max movies, Braveheart, We Were Soldiers....he might be bat crazy, but dude has been in some good .
Gibson is great, and he was great here, and who else could have played the part? I do like movies based on real life (compared to a total fantasy like a Thor, etc) to keep the violence real, something we didn't see there but it was a good movie anyway.
Loving this fire stick.
The Roadwarrior my fav Gibson movie.
