What the critics say average 6.4 from 5 outlets
- 8.0 The GuardianNigel M Smith
'Blood Father' recalls the thrillers Robert Rodriguez used to make: it?s loud, outrageously violent, unabashedly pulpy, and doesn?t skimp on character development.

"Overwhelming and extremely entertaining film (...) A frantic, hardened film noir, honest in it genre. It follows its pulp style (...)"

'Blood Father' is trash, but it does capture what an accomplished and winning actor Mel Gibson can be. Just because he lost his bearings, and his career, doesn?t mean that he lost his talent.

By no means a great piece of filmmaking, 'Blood Father' nevertheless recaptures some of the rough attitude of Gibson's "Mad Max" days, as he shoots, growls and head-butts through a routine tale of angry drug lords.

A serviceable piece of B-movie entertainment without an ounce of originality.
