Legado de sangre

People don't understand movies and they are reviewing this. It's supposed to be slow and boring at times. But it's very nice. The story is something we have all seen before, with a little of twist here and there.

The great part is that Sam Worthington is a good actor and it's really fun to watch him. This should be Sam's comeback hit!

The bad part about is perhaps some of the story is convoluted and doesn't make sense. But that's about it, it is very good on the dialogue part, acting part and direction. Matthew Nable is excellent and it's a lot of fun to see him be intimidating at times.

Australia is a great country and they know their stuff. Overall a good watch.

I really tried, really .... The start of the movie immediately showed 2 things : the quality is a B movie instead of a movie with a star like Worthington : pale colours and most irritating continuing monotone background music. After 15 mintutes, the movie did not showed anything but a boring,; boring, boring kid and his boring father that acts boring towards his boring pregnant wife ... I do not understand why Mr Worthington accept to play in this kind of boring movies, except if you want to help people suffering insomnia ... Anyway, i did one good thing : I did not watch the movie till the end and I'm happy not to have wasted the full.106 minutes of my life.

Not what I was expecting. This is a more realistic drama and not the typical action thriller I thought we were about to watch.

This is a more honest drama about life for a ex-SAS man suffering from PTSD and his son trying to survive day to day and overall together. As he gets into more and more debt, Worthington turns to his old sergeant to get some easy, but illegally earned, money.

Written, directed by and starring Matt Nable (ex NRL player) its a stunning piece of work.

Plus this is Edward Carmody's (16yo Billy) first tv or film appearance and I think he's amazing. An amazing piece of drama.

Acting is on cue , the scenery is very beautiful, but one thing I can't really get my head around is Why this movie is going back-and-forth all the time through the whole movie at different time zones. It's very slow hard to figure out (what this movie is actually about) and what is the point? This movie was so overhyped on the radio and previews and it was just one big waste of time with to many sub plots.(Maybe as a mini series could of worked out). Thank you Stan you have done it again wasting good actors on a very poor script and didn't want to spend a lot of money. This movie could've been a lot better as the actual shots and action sequences that are rare in the movie were actually really good.

Surprised at the bad reviews and low ratings as we thought this a great study into veteran inner conflict, compounded by personal tragedy and the inability to find stability in ongoing employment- problems faced by so many returning vets from all wars even without the then loss of family at home. We did not need to see the deeds of war, the story was set in the aftermath .The performances were great, Matt Nable displaying brilliantly the characteristics of those vets unable to leave the battlefields behind, Sam Worthington trying to do so but visibly feeling failure in raising his son alone while the voice off his wife is his conscience, drifting from job to job - then to crime - a lost soul really. And the son, at each stage, trying to understand too while dealing with his own loss and lack of direction. The fight scenes were well choreographed , violent and well executed and overall reminded of the type of films we have seen following all theatres of war where returning soldiers are damaged yet receive minimal support. Ignore the naysayers, watch this and decide for yourself.
