An English-language remake of the French film Les liens du sang, Guillaume Canet’s Blood Ties has lost something in the translation. Flat-footed and rather heavy-handed in pacing and with assorted storylines that don’t mesh satisfyingly into one another, this thriller pitting two brothers on different sides of the law against one another has been told many times before and often to much better effect than we get here.
