Blood Father Reviews
New York Daily News
Allen Salkin
The movie is pretty good.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
A violent, grungy, Peckinpah-lite action thriller that's worth checking out just to be reminded how powerful an actor Mel Gibson continues to be-even if the parts aren't coming like they once were.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
An efficient and pleasurable bad-man-tries-to-go-good exposition that gives Mel Gibson ample opportunity to flex his now-somewhat-grizzled movie-star muscle.
Collider
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
Things come to a halt before the going gets really good.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The film works, that's it, and for genre fans this is one ferocious underground throwback worth putting forth the effort to see.
ChrisStuckmann.com
Chris Stuckmann
Mel Gibson's grizzled, scruffy ex-con is a revelation, a consistently compelling character caught in a hole he thought he'd already dug himself out of.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Pretty much gives you all that you could want from a pulp fiction in which Mel Gibson plays a grizzled loner inking skin in a spot called the Missing Link Tattoo.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
The movie's a small gem: a good old-fashioned chase picture, thickened with pulp.
Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
A serviceable piece of B-movie entertainment without an ounce of originality. But audiences that respond to films like these are unlikely to think that's a dealbreaker.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Gibson is still a terrifically charismatic presence who inhabits damaged, self-destructive rascals, perhaps because that's how he wants to be seen.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
As an actor, Mel Gibson is an expert at digging and filling up a well of rage that, at any moment, seems ready to overflow and drown anyone in the vicinity.
Las Vegas Weekly
Josh Bell
Entertaining as hell, with a great performance from Gibson as an ex-con seeking redemption who can't deny his baser impulses.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
Director Jean-François Richet keeps the action set pieces and shootouts coming with bracing regularity, but Blood Father doesn't grind to a halt while it's catching a breath, thanks to the spot-on screenplay.
National Review
Armond White
Although Gibson's films always showed ambivalence about our culture's relation to violence, in Blood Father, he offers a necessary reproof to Tarantino culture.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
This feisty little B movie...isn't anything new, but Mel Gibson, carrying his cross of onscreen suffering, gives a powerful performance, all aging machismo leavened with witty comebacks.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
"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.
Punch Drunk Critics
Travis Hopson
To put it bluntly, Blood Father kicks Taken's ass any day.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Jean-François Richet's film shrewdly capitalizes on Mel Gibson's off-screen embarrassments and controversies.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
It's pretty familiar territory, enlivened somewhat by Gibson's growly charisma and some gritty throwback visuals.
IGN Movies
Josh Lasser
In the end, the negative aspects are too great and leave one wondering how things might have turned out if only for a few changes here and there.
