Just yesterday, we brought you images and details on the new action movie IN THE BLOOD starring Gina Carano. A lot of comments called it a gender-reversed TAKEN and now that the official trailer is here, that seems to be a pretty spot on comparison.
While the production values seem to be mired in the direct to home entertainment range, IN THE BLOOD does seem to be a nice showcase for Carano’s brand of ass-kicking, with a nice range of supporting actors including Stephen Lang, Danny Trejo, Treat Williams, and Luis Guzman. Carano herself is looking damn good in everything from bathing suits and dresses to commando gear and boots.
#advanceampads0#Carano seems to be a lock for being one of the EXPENDABELLES when that movie gets off the ground, but it is a shame she doesn’t get larger projects on the level of HAYWIRE. She definitely has the chops to headline an action movie better than IN THE BLOOD. I don’t want to knock the film, but there are several places in this trailer where it just seems like they may have run out of money and had to use stock sound effects.
I hope I am wrong and I will be giving IN THE BLOOD a shot when it hits iTunes and VOD on April 4, 2014.
