Mel Gibson’s return to the big screen (feels like forever) was well worth the wait. “Blood Father”, a straightforward B-action thriller about an ex convict (Gibson) who must protect his 17 year old daughter from the drug cartel, doesn’t reinvent the wheel. But Gibson, 60, certainly looks ripped and ready to kick ass. His comeback vehicle doesn’t have many surprises up its sleeves, but for audiences seeking gun fights and explosions, “Blood Father” more than fits the bill.
