Bad Papa Trailer: Blood Father!

FIN03_BloodFather_Tsr_Trim

There’s a new trailer for Blood Father, the movie in which Mel Gibson plays the less-than-law-abiding biological father to a girl who’s gotten herself in a lot of trouble.

It’s the latest entry in the geriatric action (geriaction?) genre and looks as formulaic in its own way as the Taken movies were. The selling point, of course, is that Gibson isn’t just an action hero, he’s a great actor.

Blood Father will be in theaters and on VOD on August 12th. Check out the new trailer after the break.
