The dialogue goes like a Gatling gun and the action is its match.

The movie is pretty good.
August 12, 2016
An efficient and pleasurable bad-man-tries-to-go-good exposition that gives Mel Gibson ample opportunity to flex his now-somewhat-grizzled movie-star muscle.
October 03, 2016
A silly but fun addition to the geri-action genre.
August 11, 2016
The movie's a small gem: a good old-fashioned chase picture, thickened with pulp.

It would've been a straight-to-video thing if its star wasn't named 'Mel Gibson'. [Full review in Portuguese.]

The troubled actor hasn't been this charismatic on screen for more than a decade.
December 26, 2016
Unexceptional, occasionally exciting chase film with Mel Gibson playing a grizzled recovering alcoholic whose destitute life is given purpose when his missing daughter calls him for help.
December 27, 2016
Blood Father boasts enough momentum and lively banter to compensate for any generic leanings. Robert Gantz' scorched cinematography keeps the heat on, even during quieter moments.
December 04, 2016
Violent and unashamedly trashy, Blood Father certainly is - and blunt, brutal, hardly original yet mostly efficient as well.
August 25, 2016
Pretty much gives you all that you could want from a pulp fiction in which Mel Gibson plays a grizzled loner inking skin in a spot called the Missing Link Tattoo.
August 11, 2016
A violent, grungy, Peckinpah-lite action thriller that's worth checking out just to be reminded how powerful an actor Mel Gibson continues to be-even if the parts aren't coming like they once were.
