Erin Moriarty Is "Blood Father" Daughter

True Detective's Erin Moriarty has joined the "Taken"-esque action-thriller "Blood Father" says   Variety.

The film follows an ex-con (Mel Gibson) who tries to protect his estranged and troubled 16-year-old daughter (Moriarty) from drug dealers trying to kill her.

Peter Craig ("The Town") wrote the screenplay, from which  Jean-François Richet's calling action.
