Story: When her husband goes missing during their Caribbean vacation, a woman sets off on her own to take down the men she thinks are responsible.
Likes : Directed by former teen actor John Stockwell, In the Blood stars real life mixed-martial arts champ Gina Carano as Ava, who is on her honeymoon in the Caribbean with her new husband Derek. Stockwell's skill in the early scenes is to capture the lush atmosphere of this island. It looks like ad for a cruise line so we can easily understand how the two lovers get caught up in it.
Then something happens. At a nightclub, a small incident leads to a fight. Ava mops the floor with three guys who are about to beat up Derek. The next day, the couple go zip-lining. There's an accident and Derek is injured. An ambulance comes. She is told that she cannot ride with him, so she is told the name of the hospital that he is being taken to. When she gets there, she is told that he never checked in. Something is clearly wrong.
Dealing with a hard-weathered police officer (played by the ever- reliable Luis Guzmán) she is given the run-around. The cops seem to be following the pattern but are clearly dragging their feet. So, she decides to do some digging herself. Then follows a long, and quite dangerous, spiral into the dark underworld of the Latin American criminal underground in which Ava muscles and strong-arms one guy after another to get answers to Derek's whereabouts, which is especially tough since the wall of resistance is held up by the likes of Luis Guzmán, Danny Trejo and Stephen Lang.
Now this mite seem like a good film, some of the fight scene were ok Gina Carano did a good job in this film playing ave, but it had alot flaws in curtain parts it not as good as her previous film haywire.Alot of the actors in this film were camero, it does do a great job in showing what the dark underworld of latin america is like with police being paid off, drug running & everything esle but this wasn't the greatest film to be honest.
Dislikes : The film quality was poor it was like amateur hour being filmed on a video camera, some of the fight scene special the club you could hardly see what was going on in the fight scene, the plot of this film is pretty weak i thinking it could of had a better plot & better action for what it was.
Overall : Amateur filming, poor subplot, could of been better.
Rating: 2.1 out of 5 for entertainment / 5 out of 10 for story-line/ action
