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.

I don't know why the rating (5) is so low. And I'm not sure why people complain it's dark. Maybe the dubbed Netflix version is, but I saw the original French-language one so maybe something was lost in the dubbing? To me, the weakest part was the acting, or should I say, over-acting of the daughter. Then again, she is deaf and all that crazy nonsense was going on around her. I suppose if I was deaf I'd be a freaked out mess, too. Yeah, there were some implausible decisions made, but the film wasn't slow-paced like others have stated. In fact, it moved along at a nice brisk pace. Recommended.

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.

"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.

The main character carried the whole movie quite well but nothing special. There was literally a little less conversation and more action - French style. :) The picture is very dark.
