Cannes 2016: 'Blood Father' Review


I have to assume that, eventually, we as a culture will decide to forgive Mel Gibson and welcome him back.

Well, when it happens, it won't be because of Blood Father, a painfully pedestrian Taken-like action-thriller. I reviewed the film for Screen International.
