When the husband of a newly wed is kidnapped on a Caribbean island, she uses the fighting skills taught to her by her gangster father to track down his abductors and deal out some righteous vengeance. Very much a Taken wannabe, In The Blood follows to the letter the formula of lovey dovey montage/fraught and desperate search/biff-bang-sock-pow-boom.

I enjoyed Haywire but Gina Carano's half-hearted performance here lacks the intensity that made Steven Soderbergh's film work and renta-Latino heavy Danny Trejo turns up for just long enough to collect his pay check.

Lets hope not too many movie lovers take this movie too seriously otherwise the Dominican Republic will have a serious tourism problem. Who wants to travel to such an idyllic island and ultimately face the local mafia? The tropical paradise photos of this incredibly beautiful island will fade after watching this low-budget action movie. The chance that you'll disappear and end up being used for some seedy business seems not unlikely. So it's advisable to avoid this extremely dangerous island and put your mind on some other tropical island. The local Dominican population won't be concerned, but the tourism industry will lick its wounds. Just kidding, I don't think it's not gonna rock the boat !
