Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

tbills2 This epic, sprawling medieval adventure starring Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh is like a one of a kind, terrific, brutal, and audacious warmhearted tale with warranted flesh and blood. Jennifer Jason Leigh is as sweet, as pretty, as gorgeous as they come. Hauer and Leigh give epic+sprawling portrayals! I really love Jennifer's epic sprawl in Flesh+Blood! A 6.9! I love this movie. An 8 in my book. JJL is like a sweet feast! I love her. She's got the goods.

bandito Not for everyone. gore and nudity. despicable actions. but also black humors. worth 7+ , much better then many 80s movie. see after the 1st conan movie as the music from same composer.

Jacob Goranson This movie is directed by the same man who was responsible for Robocop and Starship Troopers. Paul Verhoeven directed this before coming to Hollywood as his first English movie and is a good indication of what he was to become. Flesh+Blood holds absolutely nothing back when it comes to the medieval customs of rape, murder, and the plague.It stars Rutger Hauer, who is decent, and plays a good enough half villain, half alright guy. Jennifer Jason Leigh kind of wallows with the other B-list actors, but she really does have some parts that shine. It's interesting the things that she goes through in this movie, simply because I can't imagine another actor/actress doing the same. She said while filming her nude scenes in the castle, her feet and hands would turn blue.It's worth seeing if you want a good laugh at the exploitative nature of the medieval times. Try not to take the movie TOO seriously (although at times, that's difficult, mainly some scenes where Leigh's agony is too much to take lightly).

videorama-759-859391 This is just what cinema needed in 1985. Flesh And Blood is certainly different and thankfully so. For me, the movie's a guilty pleasure that I like, especially seeing as Rutger Hauer's one of more favorite actors (charming devil). It has a great cast, who deliver wonderful performances, plus two Australian imports, one who's future became pretty bleak afterwards, where I really wouldn't say his performance here, was impressive. Set back in 1506, Western Europe if I'm correct, in medieval time, a bunch of thieves led by Hauer, lower class sorts, have had the dirty done on em' where they're forced to hand over their loot by the very noble men, who pay em' for their takings. So begins a tale of revenge by these thieves, where a young girl, Agnes (the versatile Jennifer Jason Leigh) has been promised as a wife for a young inventor, Steven (Burlinson) is snatched where she must play revenge driven Hauer to survive (that spa scene in the castle, I'll never forget) Of course being a Verhoeven film, this tale seems to be one to show sleaze and shock, and it does with some moments, some nudity bits I highly approve of. Remember it's Verhoeven, where he's brought a masterful cinematic experience to the screen which is richly rewarding, and entertainingly captivating. It has a great turning point where the thieving peasants, contract the plague, thanks to a dead dog, that ended up in a well, prior to them drinking water from it. The film is periodically shot with excellence, as to the sets whatever, we really feel we're there in medieval times. It's great when these period films or are pumped up with sex and violence, and sleaze, where I can't fault director Paul here, as being a big fan of his. The last frame is memorable with a wandering, vanquished, and undead Hauer. Well done Paul, well done.
