Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

HotToastyRag Hooray, it's another Wait Until Dark! Audrey Hepburn stars in another thriller, where three men are out to get her, and she has to unsuspectingly save herself and her fortune. This one isn't as good, though, but if you like to see an older Audrey defending herself, you can put the kids to bed and watch this one. A recurrent side plot of the film is the dirty business-no pun intended-of making snuff films. If you don't know what those are, don't research them and don't rent this movie.Audrey's mogul dad dies at the start of the movie, and she finds herself a target because of her stock in the corporation. Ben Gazzara, James Mason, and Omar Sharif all stand to gain if she relinquishes her inheritance. Which one is behind the threats? Well, with two veteran villains among the suspects, it's a toss-up between Ben and James, so you'll be on the edge of your seat until the end.Omar Sharif serves at the much-needed comic relief, believe it or not, and his scenes were my favorites in the movie. He has three daughters with his wife, and three sons with his mistress, and while he juggles both families, his mistress constantly threatens to expose his second to his first. Unless you like seeing how everyone aged, though, you might want to just rent movies where they're younger. The few funny scenes Omar has doesn't really make the entire movie worth it.Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to nudity, violence, and graphic sex scenes, I wouldn't let my kids watch it.

midwestguy-04174 I've always had a special place in my heart for Audrey Hepburn and I admire her work. However, I just can't understand why she made this movie.I've watched this movie three times and on each occasion I found it almost impossible to watch. It's just so disjointed, redundant, and ridiculous. The last time I watched it I tried very hard to give it one more chance but to no avail.One would think that all the big name actors would give it a boost. However, this cast turns the movie into one big "Who's Who" of WASHED-UP actors: Omar Sharif, Romy Schneider, Maurice Ronet, Irene Papas, AND unfortunately Hepburn herself.I hate to say that. Yes, she is a legend. Yes, she is an icon. Yes, she is loved. It's sad, but she was washed-up as an actress by 1967. Every movie she made after "How to Steal a Million" in 1966 is nearly impossible to watch, especially "Two for the Road" and this flop. That includes the critically acclaimed "Wait Until Dark" in my opinion. Even "Robin and Marion" just doesn't come together."Two for the Road" has got to be the most over-rated movie ever. Torture! Pure torture! The only thing good about it is the music by Henry Mancini.I don't know if it was the material, her co-workers, the changing times, or what. It is sad, but somewhere along the line Audrey lost the magic. Bloodline was the final nail in the coffin.We love you, Audrey, but someone must have lied to you.

bkoganbing Bloodline opens with the billionaire founder and president of an international drug conglomerate being shot off an Alp. It goes further downhill from that.The deceased's daughter is Audrey Hepburn who now is in charge of the family owned business and she is being pressed by other family members to have the corporation go public. The family is Jewish and they seem to bare no small resemblance to the Rothschilds. This issue about whether to start going public with their stock is what got Dad killed. He refused to do it and when she does likewise, Hepburn also is targeted. Sounds like a straightforward enough story, but the telling of it was botched beyond belief. There are a string of snuff murders of prostitutes being investigated by the same inspector, Gert Frobe, who is investigated Dad's murder, in the film just to give it exploitation value. Also a rather needless flashback to the father's younger days and the founding of the company.A really great cast is wasted here. Making the film somewhat bearable in his scenes is Omar Sharif, one of the cousins and board members whose philandering ways have made him a legend of sorts. Looks like Omar's determined to repopulate Europe all by himself.The climax involving a burning villa in Sardinia is exciting enough. But you have to endure a lot of boredom in Bloodline to get there.

dbdumonteil It seems best to consider Richard Lester's lovely "Robin and Marian" Audrey Hepburn's swansong."Bloodline " is the most distressingly mediocre movie she ever made.Terence Young had already directed the actress in the excellent thriller "wait until dark" ,a film which compares favorably with Hitchcock's "rear window" .So it was only natural that they teamed up again .The screenplay is a mess,a disaster ,and it's more complicated than complex.Full of plot holes,of implausibilities (the fabulously rich heiress ,after several murder attempts does not even think of hiring a bodyguard!),and see how Young even copies himself for the last sequence where Hepburn is alone in the house ,of course in the dark,like in the 1967 highly superior effort.An absurd international cast gives the coup de grâce to the movie: Americans (Ben Gazzara),English (James Mason),Germans (Romy Schneider,Gert Froebe),French (Maurice Ronet) ,Greeks (Irene Pappas),Egyptians (Omar Sharif).All are given lousy parts .They are supposed to be the suspects of a whodunit.
