Review of Blood Ties (2014) by Bolthead — 10 Aug 2014

I really liked this movie.

I don't quite understand the mixed and/or negative reviews.

Clive Owen, Billy Crudup, and James Caan are all very good...as is the rest of the cast. Yes, this is a long movie. However, its length isn't aI really liked this movie.

I have brothers. All of my siblings are very different from one another...although not quite as different as the two central characters in "Blood Ties".

Many years ago, my youngest brother dragged me (at his insistence...I didn't want to go) to a viewing of the just-released "Blade Runner". The critics hated it...I loved it. Now, it's (appropriately) regarded as a science-fiction classic.

You can listen to the critics on "Blood Ties"...or, see it for yourself.

This is a quality film with a terrific cast...among so many other less-worthy choices.

Don't miss it...especially if you have one or more brothers.

It rings true.
