La terre et le sang

Bon film !

Terrible Movie ... You can watch it if you have nothing to do sbut if you want to see a good movie , please don't watch this ... An old story which made many times before . The movie is very dark so sometimes i felt like actors blurred while I watched it on AMOLED screen Really Baaad

Earth and blood was a very weak watch to me,i didnt found any character to be interesting or to be at very least fun to watch,all of them were completly out of personality and they felt like they dont belong in this kind of film,story and its moving was also very slow and i found most of scenes to be tiresome and just to unimportant for this type of subject,dialogue was also very poorly written and it didnt catched my focus for more then 2 seconds,which is big flaw since films expecely foreign ones get tough regognition and films like this just put a bad name on them,earth and blood was a french film that is just very forgettable watch

Efficient B series which goes straight to the point and does not bother with unnecessary digressions, the French director (Julien Leclercq) returns with this action movie to a rural western but via Netflix. Let's admit... Earth and blood is not a "big film" but a decent B series which ensures a constant spectacle and which keeps the spectator alert throughout its 1 hour and 20 minutes. The plot is very simple: a guy who has little to lose will defend what he has left, namely his daughter and his moral values, against the assault of gangsters who come armed to the teeth to recover a bag full of drugs. Sami Bouajila has the potential of the job to shine in genre cinema and the talent to give substance to characters however archetypal. And facing him, Eriq Ebouaney brings all his charisma to an implacable and cruel bad guy. The dialogues clearly play on the economy, the cutting is sharp and the director takes care of his staging without necessarily seeking the beautiful image. He willingly summons a certain imagery of the western which fits into his story. Basically, the film finds its identity as a rural western with big touches of country survival and siege film. As a matter of fact, there's an old tradition of French genre cinema that Eric Valette had unearthed with Le Serpent aux mille coupures. Here and there one would think of Total Western, Canicule or La Traque. When the hunt takes place, the action becomes more and more present and the suspense settles permanently. There are sequences of chases in the forest of a rather ectic energy, sequences worthy of an undercover thriller in which the decor is largely involved, short shootings but still effective and well constructed, and even some scenes which leave a good place for savagery or even gore (in the sawmill). Little room for nuance in this movie, with the good guys on the one side going to run up against the bad guys who attack them, but isn't that all that is asked with this kind of production: Efficiency and little small talk! Even if one can sometimes regret a somewhat dull photograph, seeking to transcribe the greyness of the Ardennes.

French actress Sofia LaSaffre plays a deaf character named Sarah and plays one well, although she isn't in real life which makes her an amazing actress. In this movie, Sarah's father, Saïd, owns a sawmill deep in the woods and he decides to sell it, but little does he know that one of his apprentices, Yanis, played by the wonderful Samy Seghir, had been forced by his brother to hide a large amount of cocaine inside the factory. French actor Eriq Ebouney plays a rough and tough drug dealer. This film is in French with English subtitles and is a well-worth edge of your seat watching. Such a great French action film.

This feature is in the tradition of French crime westerns taking place outside the suburbs or cities at night. You can think about: CANICULE, LA HORSE, TOTAL WESTERN, LES GRANDES GUEULES....; Maybe a little more about LA HORSE, the scheme of drug gangsters who want to get their stuff back from a farm or another place in the deep France. Yes, we can watch it as a western with Sami Bouajila in a character very close to the one he already had in BRAQUEURS, a poignant role, a man lost in advance. The supporting characters are not the best I have ever seen, and that's a shame. But that remains a gritty, bloody and brutal French crime flick. I enjoyed the body count game...And one more thing, this movie came out thanks to Netflix, with whom directors have total freedom, no matter R rating or under 16 bull sh....they have to suffer for theaters release. Julien Leclercq said in an interview that the found a golden vein with Netflix, and many more French genre movies directors too.

A watchable French drug thriller with the same old script than other B-movies. The acting is correct but not remarkable. Also, there are a lot of plot holes and weird decisions by the characters. Why? To add, I'm not sure why this kind of action B-movies are not more risky, and add at least an original ending or some interesting scripts. So, overall watchable B-movie but really far from great. I recommend to go for Lion the Professional to watch a good French action movie.

Slowly building up. Great characters. Awesome photography. Intense and moving soundtrack. Outshines American movies by miles!

No attempt at character development. RAMBO type film, with very basic action of gunshots. I dont know what else to say. Was quite boring and gave up after persisting 1 hour, Netflix should be more careful how they spend their money.

I hate when characters make stupid decisions. Sometimes they are forgivable. But here is just one after the other, like leaving your deaf daughter alone when you know some drug traffickers may be coming to the place where you left her. Or sending home workers, practically an army, who could help you protect yourself and not calling the police. If he wasn't going to call the police why not give the drug back, why go to town to call the police only to return when he saw the bad guys, and call the police ON THE PHONE. The only one with half a brain was the drug dealer, and he is a criminal. The rest of the characters are stupid or helpless. But apart from the script you have the awful action scenes, where you don't know who is hunting who, there is no sense of geography to the scene, you don't know what anyone is doing. And for some reason the guy has cancer and is going to die soon, but does not affect the story at all, well he then goes to sell his property, but that does not go anywhere.
