Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn 2008, Sylvester Stallone was planning to direct and star in an adaptation of Peter Craig's novel "Blood Father".
- GoofsWhen Lydia tries to buy cigarettes at what appears to be a Walmart, she is denied because she has no ID. State and federal law requires her to be 18 to purchase tobacco, and rifle or shotgun ammunition, and 21 to purchase ammunition that is identified to be used in a pistol. The cashier allowing her to buy 9mm ammunition, had to believe that she is at least 18 years old. (Some rifles are chambered in 9mm, so she could purchase it.) Not allowing her to buy cigarettes, however, is ridiculous. She later showed an ID in the bar but couldn't show one to the cashier.
- Alternate versionsThe German extended TV version runs almost 10 mins longer than the original version, with 21 extended scenes and one additional scene.

Featured review
I'm old enough to have watched all the Lethal Weapon's at the theater. They were some of the best action/buddy movies I've ever seen. Mel Gibson is a great actor. He reinvented the tough guy. He's got a persona that few have on the big silver screen. The fact that Hollywood turned their back on him is nothing short of a crime. Well - he's back and he's doing what he does best - and I for one am thankful. I just recently saw another movie he's done called "Get the Gringo". Another amazing movie steeped in great dialog, action and classic Gibson lines and scenes.
This movie is every father's nightmare. A child or yours has gotten themselves intertwined with some pretty bad dudes and you're the only person that can fix it. Gibson delivers on all levels - providing a character that isn't completely foreign - but new enough to be interesting and engaging. William H. Macy as always delivers some great scenes - and the only disappointment was the lack of on-screen time devoted to Macy and Gibson's character development. Short - but effective. Erin Moriarty was a breath of fresh air - and her character and acting worked well with Gibson's.
This movie is classic Gibson. Great dialog, story and acting. 8 out of 10!
