La terra e il sangue

Drugs,brothers,gang,shooting,selling business. A lot of things were happening but everything was so bland and not tasty to watch. Very cheap movie. It tried to compensate by intense music and some kind of horror elements(like cutting hand or unscrew the head) but it didn't help at all. It didn't entertain me at all. I wouldn't recommend to watch this movie because it's useless.

"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.

Terrible Movie ... You can watch it if you have nothing to do sbut if you want to see a good movie , please don't watch this ... An old story which made many times before . The movie is very dark so sometimes i felt like actors blurred while I watched it on AMOLED screen Really Baaad

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.

Decent viewing if you just want to switch off your brain, but 'Earth and Blood' isn't anything good.

It's just so underdeveloped, there is little to no reason to care for any of the characters onscreen. We get pieces of backstory with a few of the protagonists, though the antagonists are completely plain and lack any creativity. I was never invested in this, unfortunately.

Sami Bouajila is, at least, good in the lead role. I've now seen three French language films and he has been in two of them; following on from the also underwhelming 'The Crew' from 2015, which is directed by Julien Leclercq too. I do like Bouajila. No-one else stands out, though I did enjoy Sofia Lesaffre as Sarah.

It has a few decent deaths, a solid lead and a couple of nice shots - though they could've used the Sawmill location to greater effect. However, disappointingly, it's a poor film all in all. It's a positive that it only runs for 80 minutes, but a bit longer could've helped it create some depth to the onscreen lot.
