In the Blood (I) (2014)
7/10

Warning: Spoilers
Ava (Gina Carano) has had a hard life as the daughter of a criminal. She grew up hard and fast by a daddy who instructed her how to defend herself. As an addict she meets Derek (Cam Gigandet) a rich gentleman who marries her. On their island honeymoon, Derek has an accident and goes missing. The police are reluctant to help. Ava must go "walking tall" all over a poor tropical island while being sought by the police.

Gina Carano is a more convincing tough girl than the models and twinkies who have played those roles. The film is fairly formulaic except it does have some welcomed unexpected twists. Danny Trejo is on the screen far less than Ismael Cruz Cordova, but you might ask who the heck is Ismael Cruz Cordova.

Decent action film with some cat fighting. Although I don't understand why she spared Silvio Lugo (Amaury Nolasco) when we waxed that other guy.

Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
