Good Movie!
Zipped for action
Gina Carano is a reasonably appealing MMA fighter who has crossed over to acting. In the Blood sees her play a newlywed who goes to a Caribbean island for a honeymoon, when her husband is involved in a (silly, contrived as the safety line suddenly disappears) zip line accident he disappears on the way to the hospital. Carano searches all over for him as the police disbelieve her and so does her husband's family.
The film has elements of Taken, there is some nice footage as Carano and her husband partake in activities on honeymoon such as sailing, there are cameo appearance from some known actors such as Luis Guzman and Treat Williams.
However the film is a bit of a stinker, Carano does well looking anxious and frustrated searching for her husband but the plot is all over the place. The hospital must be corrupt as they deny ever seeing her husband but the ambulance was on its way there, the police do not seem too forceful investigating making them and look dodgy themselves. The husband's big shot family instead of calling in some private investigators blame Carano and then promptly disappear.
The climax drags out when it should had ended in a hospital shootout but it just highlights the flaws in the script.
Carano who is good in her action scenes needs to be better served if she is going to hit the big time in action films. This is a straight to DVD 'B' film and a poor one.
