Link, the protagonist of Blood Father directed by Jean-François Richet, is witnessed giving a speech in one of the AA meetings. This is the film’s first version of Link’s dedication. There is more to that as well; Link is played by Mel Gibson who it is well known has issues with alcohol himself. By the way, the film is about to begin, of course. That opening is by no means about Gibson himself as the protagonist of this movie at all. The contents of this film are crucial and very engaging. In the case at hand, the focus is on Link, who has been free for a year now, sober for the last two, and has not seen his daughter for four. Simply put, Link has lived a tough life but is making things right, and so the moment his daughter’s call comes, he springs into action. Lydia Link’s daughter played by Erin Moriarty is trying to escape from a drug cartel after killing her boyfriend Jonah who is the head of the drug cartels local branch.
It marks the onset of prolonged shadow play, with Link and his daughter being the preys and the hunters simultaneously. The two are not focused too much on a strategy; though Link has a few people who owe him something and a huge nag to reunite with family, these are enough to keep them going.
It is quite an interesting premise for an action flick – Lydia has bitten off more than she can chew, her dad is determined to keep her safe and out of trouble and in the middle of this war, so many bullets go around asking nobody. One of the flaws of the film, just like many films, particularly the ‘On the run’ genre, is that once it begins it does not really culminate in anything with a terribly exciting development. Whoever they suppose to go meet or whatever business they plan on to undertake, Blood Father always has more answers than questions at that part of the scene.
It is almost certain that each one of the viewers expect all sorts of bad villains to continue finding Lydia and Link and that is so commonplace for the characters that it does not evn surprise them but how exactly are the two being pursued creeps into the unknown. The thumbnail cannot explain what has been shown because a certain answer can be given at a certain point of the motion picture, but it sounds too ridiculous to be acceptable as plausibly possible.
When it comes to Link’s ex-colleagues, there is Anthony Preacher (Michael Parks) at the top. He is an e-sales guy selling such products as white power stuff. This is a contemptible, ambitious man with even more ruthless associates, ubiquitous roguish odious masterminds aways glad to aid him. Link is always about pleasant friendships, but the audience becomes surprised within seconds why wacky’s link would have been buddies with a guy such as tumult for so long only for the guy to turn out a polite human being.
This element explains the most why Link is a drug addict, and this is something he is now attending to with his sponsor, Kirby (William H. Macy). Some of it is unsuitable almost herself whereby the movie comes in handy in recreating bad behavior and holds the whole conduct. Link is however not the idea behind the nature of bad past behavior due to any legitimate free outlook. So Link, who is most of the time confused and angry, has only one directional goal left up to atoning for sins – it Is discussed in this depressing trailer park that he rents and runs a tattoo shop in the loss of her child within the business and the prospects of getting so poor that he would sell himself away in longing for this woman.
Gibson is indeed a great seller of this particular piece of the story. He doesn’t just look grizzled and haggard, but also manages to bring in just the right of emotions. He is more than convincing as a normal guy trying to follow the law, as well as a man who would do anything for the one he loves, even if that means getting out of control.
Apart from the script, most of the plotting, action, and even other actors are no match to how unbelievable Gibson’s acting was. One action sequence in the trailer park early on is an exception here. The scene sets the chase in motion and allows for a lot of risk as it is unrefined, extremely loud, and very violent. Even though the following parts are equally as violent, the action does not seem as well constructed, nor as well justified. Blood Father does not really leave the audience guessing what happened next – it leaves the audience guessing how every single combatant in the gunfight got to the place where all the bullets are flying.
The summary or the author’s assessment With Blood Father, Mel Gibson presents a tired and exhausted screen persona who is resigned to his situation but is fully cognizant of his eventual reconciliation. Such a refusal is well demonstrated in the film’s link parents as touching in the center of most feeling and burly Gibson who is on his knees to restore things where he last touched them. Many other parts, including some of the parts of Link and Lydia, and even some very awkward ponitical imagination, are aggravated by a lot of silliness and/or poor feeling. Still, some rough edges remain…many actually.. And about these sticky situations one wishes there were more aspects that could change regarding the outcome.
