Plenty of talent is on display in front of and behind the camera in this psychological thriller based on the acclaimed 온라인카지노추천 miniseries.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 5, 2017

At times, "Blood," feels like a slightly-filled-out television police procedural with better cinematography, but the performances have an almost Shakespearean grandeur.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 13, 2013

The landscape cinematography is often eye-pleasing, but the script is labored, filled with clichs and never allows for character development.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 9, 2013

"Blood" may not be wholly original, but it is effective.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 9, 2013

Suffers from a crippling lack of back story and characters whose relationships are fraught with unexplained complexity.

"Blood" unfolds along familiar lines, but it works.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 8, 2013

While hardly reinventing the wheel, "Blood" works best as a tone poem, with unspoken passages detailing a hard life.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 8, 2013

"Blood" feels perfunctory, needing something besides fussy plotting to jolt it to life.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 8, 2013

A tight, raincoats-flapping-in-the-wind crime drama ...

| Original Score: B | Aug 8, 2013

Themes of family ties, obsession, and morality, so dramatically realized in Conviction, are gracelessly and shapelessly strewn together here.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 7, 2013

The characters never manage to connect with one another, separated by gulfs of melodramatic angst and the plot demands of a boringly unspooled police procedural.

| Aug 7, 2013

That he [Nick Murphy] can't sustain the level of dramatic tension that Bill Gallagher's script requires (the movie is adapted from the BBC veteran's 온라인카지노추천 series Conviction) is a bummer, though you still get to bask in wonderful performances.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 6, 2013

All four of the main performances are so strong that they deserve more space to develop and intertwine.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 12, 2013

This police procedural about a pair of bent coppers goes by the book.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 30, 2013

The film's family-saga pretensions and bombastically overdone characterisation keep hobbling its better elements.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 30, 2013

You'll most likely be waiting for it end rather than anticipating the next juicy twist.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 30, 2013

An effective British police thriller, Blood benefits from some stylish location work in Northeast England's The Wirral and a typically engrossing performance from Paul Bettany.
