‘Bloodfather’ (2016) Mel Gibson, Erin Moriarty
Easily Gibson’s best work in years. He plays an inked-up ex-con biker badass who has to save his daughter from a drug cartel. Sounds a little like ‘Taken’, but it isn’t. Apart from one heavily improbable motorcycle chase, it’s much more realistic than anything in Neeson’s franchise, and the father-daughter relationship is much better developed.
Say what you like about Gibson as a person (pretty much all bad, I agree), but there’s no denying his screen presence or his acting chops. He’s terrific and so is this film.
8.5/10
