Review of Blood Ties

Blood Ties (I) (2013)
7/10
brothers on two sides of the law
5 January 2021
The 2013 version. One brother Frank (Bill Crudup) is a cop, the other is Chris (Clive Owen) an ex-con. it's 1974, and with Chris staying at Frank's place, things are pretty tense. Chris thought he had a respectable job lined up, but that didn't work out, so he slides back into the old, less than legal ways. and he has a strange relationship with a female co-worker (Mila Kunis, who's in everything these days). Chris wants to marry her, but she knows he will only be trouble. veteran actor James Caan is in here as Frank and Chris' dad. keep an eye out for Lily Taylor ( I Shot Andy Warhol). as Chris starts pulling jobs again, he gets questioned, and of course, now Frank is put in the middle. he wants to defend his brother, but he isn't sure just how involved Chris really is. Violence. lots of cussing. showing on Epix streaming. This started as a novel by Bruno and Michel Papet, turned into film français in 2008, and then made into Blood Ties. This version directed by french director Guillaume Canet.. won lots of film fest awards. it's pretty good.
