Blood Ties (2013)
Director: Guillaume Canet
Screenplay: Guillaume Canet & James Gray
Stars: Clive Owen, Marion Cotillard, Billy Crudup, Mila Kunis, Zoe Saldana, James Caan and Noah Emmerich.
The Pitch: “How about a gritty crime movie set in the 70’s — one brother’s a cop and the other is an ex-con?”
Tagline: “Crime runs in the family.”
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
Chris (Owen) is a recently released ex-con who’d been in for murder. Frank (Crudup), his brother is a New York City detective who places his job on the line to help Chris make a new start.
Chris gives it a go, but soon enough circumstances have him involved in crimes that will place him at odds with his brother (who has another man out to kill him).
An excellent cast in a gritty crime story set in the 1970’s. What’s not to like?
