While the movie is exited and really good for those who really like to live from fantasies and the magic of the TV brainwashing format....that'd be OK, but I don't think you can mess around, even if you are mastered in martial arts.Action and the content might be exaggerated. The girl is doing the Rambo- hero play. She is kicking guys easily when all in real life guys just get you, put a bullet in your head before you make the first blink of an eye. this girl is a clown, but of course Hollywood always showing the power of white blood... as always over any ethnicity or race... in real life if this girl were for real, for the most she can reach; it's just to punch the first guy and then she's got killed easily. sadly in those countries is as it is.

I live in Mexico, and while this is the Caribbean, the blending of the bad guys and the cops was too real. The common people have no control, and the narcos and the police find a way to work together. They feel there is no reason to shoot each other when they can all make money the easy way. Everyone who has anything is corrupt in Latin America. They protect what's theirs and to hell with everyone else. In The Blood got that right.In The Blood is a boring, predictable story. It's a 4 or 5 star movie, except for 3 performances. Gina Carano is no Meryl Streep, but she is totally believable as the loyal, ass-kicking wife who will go to any lengths to protect her guy. The fight scenes are great, and worth slogging through the swamp of poor dialog and the formula plot. The second performance that exceeds expectations is Luis Guzman as the police chief. He is perfect as the malignant, corrupt official with a face of stone. Then he is perfect when things don't go his way. Both his arrogance and vulnerability capture the essence of the Latina male.The final excellent performance belongs to Stephen Lang as the Flashback Dad. How did Gina Carano's character get so tough? Stephen Lang plays Gina's outlaw dad. The tough love he gives her is intense and believable. He's only got a couple scenes, but then are intense. Whether he's playing a civil war general (Gettysburg), a mercenary trying to steal a planet from the nativesDanny Trejo also gets to play another knife wielding bad guy. Danny Trejo is always good, but he's like a Latin John Wayne. He plays himself perfectly every time. You can't watch In The Blood like a normal movie, because it doesn't work like that. It's a boring story. You watch it to see the lovely Gina Carano beat up the bad guys and look good doing it. You watch it to see Luis Guzman play a villain so despicable you feel no regret when things don't go his way. Most of all, you watch In The Blood for the brief moments that Stephan Lang dominates the screen. 3 great performances. Skip the rest.

Haywire was good, She looked good. The acting will get better at least we hope. Was she required to beef up put on a few pounds for this one or did she just not care she was starring in a movie. Even her facial expressions were changed by the weight. Heck she was bigger than her costar.......... The directing and writing was nothing to write home about but you are a action star. Look and act accordingly........Let's hope your next venture you at least look the part. Get into the gym and eat right. The female version of Steven Segal on its way......say it isn't so. Really how much do you have to write to get this published. 10 lines really.............. 10 lines really..............

Possibly the best female action star of our times, along with Zoe Bell, Gina Carano deserves a better vehicle than "In The Blood". It's true that in this movie you get to see a lot of Gina's fantastic body (I envy the woman who was lucky enough to get knocked out in Gina's sleeper hold - just look at her biceps and you'll know why), but it has a lot of problems: the editing is often amateurish, the cinematography is sometimes poor (although the locations are beautiful), the kidnapping story is very standard, there is practically only ONE real fight scene in the entire movie (all the rest are quick beatdowns by Gina on opponents who don't stand a chance - I hope they won't turn her into the female Steven Seagal), and the excessively cruel edge of Gina's character (she perpetrates a lot more violence than the villains) makes it hard to root for her as much as we should. Danny Trejo is on the DVD cover but he appears in no more than four scenes in total. ** out of 4.
