    • Trivia
      English-language adaptation of Jacques Maillot's French thriller Rivals (2008), which starred Guillaume Canet, the director of Blood Ties, in the role that was played by Billy Crudup in this movie.
    • Goofs
      The story opens in 1974 but the song playing in the background on the record player is "New York Groove" from Ace Frehley's 1978 solo release and even the original by the band Hello was not released until 1975.
    • Quotes

      Leon: [to his son, Frank] Listen, your mother... your mother was a bitch. She was a real bitch. She beat the shit out of your brother and sister on a daily basis with whatever she had in her hand. She was a violent drunk, she was a twisted fucking slut.

    Nice Sunday MOVIE much better than I expected!
    I often go by user's reviews, but on this one i think it deserves a much better rating!!! I give this film an 8/10! Nice story line & good overall acting. This is a great movie with a powerful message about brotherly love!

    Thecrook, the Cop.. Blood is thicker than water! A good choice movie for a Sunday afternoon when there's no FOOTBALL SEASON! :) . If u like Scorsece's movies, You will like this one! The best part i liked was end. The plot builds up a lil' slow, but as the film goes alone it gets better & better!

    The hippie era of 70s, nice muscle cars and the FU attitude.. Loved it!
