La terre et le sang

This a very good movie, with it's tense moments and some bloody scenes.

Acting is good, setting in the old sawmill is perfect for the story and is used very well.

Relax and see it on Netflix when you are into thriller, action movies.

No attempt at character development. RAMBO type film, with very basic action of gunshots. I dont know what else to say. Was quite boring and gave up after persisting 1 hour, Netflix should be more careful how they spend their money.

A watchable French drug thriller with the same old script than other B-movies. The acting is correct but not remarkable. Also, there are a lot of plot holes and weird decisions by the characters. Why? To add, I'm not sure why this kind of action B-movies are not more risky, and add at least an original ending or some interesting scripts. So, overall watchable B-movie but really far from great. I recommend to go for Lion the Professional to watch a good French action movie.

"La Terre et le Sang" is a pitch-black actioner mixed with quite an interesting crime drama, though with its flaws not hidden. The movie structures the plot in the relationship between a father and his daughter against the backdrop of rural France, adding some depth that does work. Even if the cinematography and scoring are brilliant, real tension and atmosphere are brought into the movie, but more than once, the storyline stumbles due to predictable turns of events and characters that sound shallow. The pacing also becomes uneven in places, dragging on in certain bits and rushing through others. All things considered, "La Terre et le Sang" does present an engaging watch with an involving premise, though it might leave some viewers wishing for more polish in its execution.

No pun intended. And maybe if the lead character wasn't so charismatic, the movie would not have struck as much with me as it did. So I see everyone voting lower and I understand. This is not a great thriller, it is more than decent though and even if there are cliches being served, we get suspense and edge of the seat entertainment.

It does what it says on the box and the last third of the movie is quite the payout for what we saw before that and all the silence or rather slow moving story for the most part. Violence is not always the solution, but this is a movie and it does what it has to - or rather our main man does. Is it enough though?
