"Blood Ties" movie quotes tell the story of two brothers on either side of the law who struggle to find common ground. The thriller is an adaptation of the 2008 French film "Les liens du sang" which was adapted from the novel of the same name by Bruno and Michel Papet. "Blood Ties" was directed by Guillaume Canet and first opened at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival before a March 21, 2014, theatrical opening.
In "Blood Ties," Frank (Billy Crudup) and Chris (Clive Owen) Pierzynski are brothers in Brooklyn, New York, in the 1970s. Frank chose a life as a police officer while Chris is just being released from prison after a nine-year sentence. While they've never quite seen eye to eye or been close, they are family at the end of the day.
So when Chris, who really tried to stay straight this time, takes a criminal gig and is caught by Frank, this puts the two men in very difficult situations. Frank wants to be a good cop but can he really arrest or turn his a blood relative? That's the decision he is faced with in this thriller. Marion Cotillard, Mila Kunis, Zoe Saldana, Matthias Schoenaerts and James Caan costar in the film.
"Blood Ties" will have good competition in the theaters alongside other films such as the "Veronica Mars" movie, "Need for Speed," "Mr. Peabody and Sherman," "300: Rise of an Empire," "The Grand Budapest Hotel," "Cheap Thrills," "Monuments Men," "Winter's Tale," "RoboCop (2014), "About Last Night," "Vampire Academy," "The Lego Movie," "Gimme Shelter," "I, Frankenstein," "Ride Along," "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit," "The Wolf of Wall Street, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues," "Her," "American Hustle," "12 Years a Slave," and "Frozen".
