“A father makes his own justice.”
Blood Father (2016) is a raw, no-frills crime thriller that sees an ex-con (Mel Gibson) rekindle a strained relationship with his rebellious teenage daughter (Taissa Farmiga) when she falls into the clutches of a ruthless drug cartel. The film charts a violent odyssey through the underbelly of contemporary America, where a father's love manifests in brutal, unapologetic protection. Gibson's performance is a study in primal conviction, as he navigates a moral gray area where the law offers no sanctuary.
