bettycjung 6/22/18. Expect plenty of action when Carano takes no prisoners. Imagine having a wife like this - guys, no need to worry about anything. Plays to the fears we all have of having things go wrong while vacationing in a country where you don't know the language.

ghandibonez This movie is highly underrated. Action packed and put together well. Kept me interested from beginning to end and I've watched it at least 6 times now..it still isn't old to me.Gina is the first female mma superstar and way more likable than Grumpy Ronda Rousey. I will always be a fan of Carano and she ruled in this.Definitely worth watching for the action lover.I was thoroughly impressed. Cant wait for the Kickboxer reboot and Deadpool. Gina is doing big things.

witster18 Of course the highlights of the film are the action sequences. The brief moments where we get to dismiss the abomination of a plot and watch Gina kick some butt.The film has some MAJOR problems. You get the feeling as a viewer that the film crew threw-together this plot on the fly. Like they didn't know where to go with it.The film starts-off with some bad acting, a really cheesy 80's montage love video(ala "Streets of Fire" only placed in a bad movie making it worse instead in a really good movie making it only above average for SOF). Really bad start.Gina can't act. Let's face it - she can't. Her character is just so void of emotion - especially considering what she's gone through. The only person that kicks Gina's butt in this film is the younger actress who's playing her younger self in some flashback scenes.. at least I can tell when she's upset.This kinda reminds me of "Falcon Rising"... I gave both films a 4/10, but this is probably closer to a 5 than FR was. The production values here are certainly better. Like FR, In The Blood is shot in a beautiful location. This film looks great BUT.It's total nonsense. The actions of the characters are ridiculous, and again the plot was written by a pre-kindergartner. It's full of laugh-off loud moments that weren't meant to be funny.How could so many directors in the 80's get the formula right? Not trying to do too much with the plot, so as to not detract from the action, or not throw in the plot like it was a complete after- thought an hour into the film?(the case here) I mean it literally feels like the production stopped and they decided on the fly 'why' the husband had been taken. They had no idea until that moment. Like it or not. If the reason was actually put to paper and this was actually scripted in advance then I apologize, but the writer should still bit put out of our and their misery.Very little works here. The highlight of the whole film is a barfight in the first third, after that, it's all downhill. THey could have used the scene to drive the plot, but instead, the writers and director got drunk and went into lala-land for the films final hour.Gina still deserves some props because she can certainly pull-off the action stuff better than just about any chick in the biz, but the aimless, silly plot, and the lack of emotion here sink this ship. I dialed up Falcon Rising and In The Blood because I wanted a mindless action flick - i just didn't want them THAT mindless.I'd pass. If you want some action flicks of the last decade that do it right(many sleepers and low-budget too) - i'd check out these first: The Man From Nowhere(subt), Elite Squad 2:The Enemy Within(subt), Running Scared, John Wick, Jack Reacher, Olympus Has Fallen, Dredd, IPman1&2(subt), Point Blank(subt), True Legend(subt), Shoot'em Up, Rampage, SHooter, Purge:Anarchy, 3 Days to Kill, Oldboy(remake), Homefront, 2 Guns, Raid1&2, Hanna, Never Back Down, Parker, The Mechanic, SNitch, From Paris With Love.... ...all those are significantly better than this junk and many of those have similar budget constraints.

billyfish This film was actually engaging up until the point where the heroine gets the evil wrongdoer in a room with his henchmen, and she lets them all live! What bullshit! This guy kidnapped her husband and used him to extract stem cells, and she has a gun on them all, and lets them live! At that point I stopped the movie and felt very cheated. She had not hesitated to kill various henchmen up to that point, but when she has the guy who masterminded the whole operation, apparently she feels sorry for him and allows him to continue to live, and to continue to try to kill her. Ridiculous. Stupid movie. Don't waste your time. I need ten lines so here they are. Stupid movie.
