Bloodline (1979)

The president of a pharmaceutical company is killed, and his daughter replaces him. The board of directors is comprised of members of the same family, who are all in need of quick money. They try to convince the new president to allow the company to go public. She refuses, and as a consequence is also targeted for murder.

The basic storyline is interesting, but the details of the plot are terribly lacking both in consistency and entertainment value. There is an underlying theme of ethnic bonds and how they become a source of problems which is also interesting, but its development is very superficial. A longer version of this film is said to exist but is nowhere to be found, apparently.

Rating: 20
