Review of Blood Father (2016)

Review of Blood Father (2016)

By Vicky Roach (269) for Daily Telegraph (Australia) (376) on 01 Sep 2016

Review of Blood Father (2016)

By David Stratton (799) for The Australian (781) on 01 Sep 2016

It's no masterpiece, but it's a moderately enjoyable ride and it's good to see Gibson back on form for the first time in quite a while…

Review of Blood Father (2016)

By Leigh Paatsch (1,103) for Herald Sun (Australia) (1,081) on 01 Sep 2016

Though Blood Father is very much a derivative revenge thriller that owes a moderate debt to Liam Neeson's Taken series, it benefits big-time…

Review of Blood Father (2016)

By Sandra Hall (505) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 31 Aug 2016

This one is workmanlike - choreographed with skill and without pretension. It does the job…

Review of Blood Father (2016)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for Blu-ray.com (2,093) on 30 Aug 2016

That the picture could find life as a study of forgiveness and new beginnings, while still cracking skulls, is an impressive achievement…

Review of Blood Father (2016)

By Matt Donato (975) for We Got This Covered (2,391) on 28 Aug 2016

Blood Father is a funny, gritty action thriller that gets the action right, and still has some blood-soaked sentiments worth the devoted father…

By Jeffrey M. Anderson (3,573) for Common Sense Media (4,943) on 25 Aug 2016

Review of Blood Father (2016)
