Ratings and reviews

Personally I've always enjoyed Mel Gibson no one can do rage like Mel. He had his little Outburst & racial temper tantrums of ignorance which pretty much blacklisted him in Hollywood he hasn't done the same work sense. But hands down he's our Steve McQueen, this was a predictable indie crime drama but Mel shined in it. Check it out to see that old school Mel charm and all the rage that no one does better than him.

Mel Gibson has his (much publicized) issues, but Blood Father is Mad Max all grown up. Pitch-perfect action flick. Moriarity is excellent as his daughter. Very strong supporting characters like Bill Macy and notable others. I felt the firm hand of a very strong director on a script plot that was not that unusual, but dialogue that was fabulous. I was really sad to see it end, and that's really saying that it's really a very good movie. Worth the the money, and more!

You can write off Mel for his personal life all you want, but the dude has written VOLUMES on the modern-day badass. You are doing only yourself a disservice if you refrain from his movies because of your personal politics. This is up there with Payback and Man On Fire in the retribution department and well worth watching
