John must ask favours from various friends, some good like Kirby (William H. Obviously at first John and Lydia are a tad distant, Lydia doesn't completely trust John, and John wants to ween Lydia off the drugs and alcohol she's hooked on. And most of the folk we meet along the way are all scruffy looking redneck biker types, complete with some Nazi and Confederate imagery for good measure.Īs the story unfolds its not hard to guess what's gonna happen really. The bad guys are your stereotypical tattooed Latino gangsters. All the while being somewhat ungrateful about it along the way. His slutty looking daughter Lydia is your typical slutty looking mouthy teen, who has gotten herself into shit and needs her daddy to bail her out. Gibson's character is your standard gruff, hardassed, tattooed, ex-con who's turned his life around and deep down has a good heart.
#What is blood money movie about movie#
I think the problem with this movie is the fact it doesn't really offer anything new (plus it literally feels like it could be another movie about old man Wolverine/Logan). What follows is a somewhat slow moving chase thriller as John must protect Lydia from the gang out for revenge. Alas Jonah's gang members come after Lydia and drag John into the fray. Lydia explains the situation and John decides to look after Lydia at his trailer house in the middle of nowhere (hoping no one will find them). Thinking she's killed him she runs off and gets in contact with her ex-convict father John (Gibson). During a hit on some tenants Jonah claims stole money from them, Lydia accidentally shoots Jonah. The plot starts with Lydia (Erin Moriarty) who is in a relationship with a gang leader called Jonah (Diego Luna). And I'm surprised at yet another novel adaptation, like almost every other flick!Īgain the plot is nothing really original (a rarity these days), its main hook is the fact we see old Mel Gibson back in action again.
Surprised that's its a French made movie because I certainly didn't get that vibe in the trailers. Apparently this movie is based on a novel of the same name and a French action thriller.
