In the Blood (I) (2014)
2/10
Watch so you can be reminded it's worth watching good movies (not this one)
13 April 2014
If you've done everything possible on your bucket list, and are waiting around with nothing to do with your time before you die, watch this movie.

There's as much wooden acting as Commando, but without the muscles. The story sucks, which is disappointing as it's ripped from others before yet still can't learn from any of those and make a decent go of it.

Characterisation is appallingly poor. I'm not sure what the director was doing but clearly his focus had nothing to do with the characters and their acting in each scene. Maybe he was elsewhere on another movie at the time? It certainly comes across like it.

Overall I found it wanting in every cinematic aspect - few redeeming qualities with which to call it a feature film. Other than length - they spin this out to the thick end of two hours. There's lots of killing and blood, however. And quite a bit of fighting, though boringly captured. Some others have mentioned MMA in their reviews. My view - forget martial arts here, the acronym in this effort stands for Mostly Mangled Acting.

A good waste of time if you generally feel better about yourself from laughing at D grade movies.
