Blood Father

The story is totally absurd, but overall I can't say that I didn't enjoy it. Mel Gibson is awesome.

The father-daughter relationship is funny, the action is good, the cast is great and the story a bit ridiculous.

Better than expected, Mel Gibson’s acting was very good

I loved this movie. Mel was awesome as usual. Lots of entertainment and action. 4.5*

Just terrible: Mel’s overacting, the trite story, the too-much-talk-in-a-shoot-em-up script. HOWEVER, if yer still in middle-school and barely make Cs, you MIGHT like it.

Mel Gibson gives a magnificent performance!! The story is simple but the execution is perfect and the acting really makes the movie, specially Gibson, a very underrated actor, who really elevates the movie whith his nuanced and at the same time powerful performance, you completely buy his rage and his regrets, the fact Gibson himself shares a lot with the character when it comes to atonemnt for past sins only helps an already fantastic performance. If the world was fair Mel would have won acting awards for such a tour de force !!! The father-son chemistry was pretty good and the action top notch! But don´t be confused, this is not an action movie, this is a superb drama where character´s study shines and that is complemented with great action sequences with old mad max of course...

Mel Gibson always good to see in movies, one of the best living actor

A taut, well-acted, relationship-focused redemptive action flick with some clever lines and dialogue. Better than the violence-glorifying and CGI-laden fare that's so common nowadays in the genre.

It was a very engaging and entertaining movie. Mel Gibson did a good job. Good plot and acting overall.

Meh, it was alright. It a brainless movie with all sorts of violence. A father trying to save his wayward daughter from murders and psychopaths, gee what is going to happen? Mel Gibson, continuing to make his slow decent into obscurity, plays the alcoholic ex-con living in a mobile home sterotype. Erin Moriarity (Starlight-The Boys) plays the ever obedient daughter who gets hooked up with drugs after running away from home (which we never fully understand why, which doesnt matter, but they touch on the reasoning in the movie through some psychological babble so i would have expected a full explanation). Surprisingly William Macy plays a supporting role of the AA sponsor but maybe not so unsurprisingly his acting genius is never on display.The plot is, well lets just say you've seen this movie a dozen times. The movie was made to give all involved some work to pay their bills so don't expect much. If you're looking for a brain dead flick to fill 2 hrs, this will work.
