While browsing the action section on Netflix, I came across this new French action thriller. And also, given its not-so-long duration, I decided to stream it last night. It was an entertaining watch, although there's nothing groundbreaking or much memorable about it, to be honest. The action scenes are the best thing about this film and possibly the only reason I found it entertaining.
If you're looking for a masterpiece, it's not that. But if all you want is a decent action film with enough guns, blood, traps, chases and explosions: check this one out for sure. Performance wise, I found Sami Bouajila impressive, given this is his first film I've watched. I hope to check out more of his work. Technical aspects are neat and the tension built during the action is excellent. But the buildup to the nonstop action is somewhat tiring to an extent. Not boring at all, but just something that could've been done at a better pace. That's really a flaw given how it's already just an 80 minute film!
Nevertheless, Earth and Blood is a watchable action thriller with enough action and suspense to keep you hooked. The film certainly has its moments and mostly engages. Worth a one-time watch for sure.
