Review
Bloodworth is a film whose strength lies in their individual performance. Kris Kristofferson makes a good performance as the titular characters and Reece Thompson stands out as the grandson Bloodworth Fleming. In fact, the entire cast did an admirable job functions were given. The biggest surprise performance probably belongs to Hillary Duff, who is proving to be more than a drone in the Disney pop machine.
If the strength of Bloodworth is in performance, the weakness is probably in the script. Not that the script was horrible, just who would benefit from a little more character development. This lack of character development, it is difficult to connect, or really care about the characters. It was not until near the end of the film has none of the characters really start to make you empathize with them. The film could benefit from more than twenty minutes to help develop the story and characters. No further details will be treated to avoid the risk of a spoiler.
