Established in 1999, the APCV advises the BBFC on issues concerning the interests of children and young people. Five new members appointed to the BBFC’s Advisory Panel on Children’s Viewing. A week of films watched by our Youth Panel member, Lucy. When he takes a bullet, he doesn't dig around in the wound, dust it with gunpowder, then set fire to it to cauterise it. Find out about the latest resources, news and age ratings information. He's reliant instead on knowing the terrain, but not with some kind of preternatural skill, merely the experience of an old hunter who has, if nothing else, survived this long. It's a little like watching your dad get into this mess of a situation, with Berenger's Jim Reed often fumbling that first shot, dropping that knife, slipping on that ice.
It's a refreshing change to see Berenger invested in acting once againĪnd perhaps that's what works about the film. Similarly the action is suitably geriatric - Berenger's 71 after all - and, rather than have him pretend to be decades younger, he merely plays it as a broken old man, pushing through the punishing wilderness with some decades old Marine skills, but all the confident skill of an average granddad.

He's far from a clean-cut hero, and actually his crossing paths with the criminals opens with a series of questionable decisions which no traditional Hollywood hero would make, making his latter real-world Rambo/Taken actions all the more authentic, laced with fatal mistakes and tragedy. You get a feel for Berenger's broken old man, facing the twilight time of his existence, eating peanut butter sandwiches and reading old newspaper clippings to remind us that the past still haunts him, whilst clearly familiar with coughing up blood and not in the least bit interested in doing anything about that striking warning sign. Somewhat unusually, very little happens for almost the entire first half of Blood and Money, which adopts a contemplative, near glacial pace in its refreshing efforts to focus on character rather than story or action.
