88At times, Blood, feels like a slightly-filled-out television police procedural with better cinematography, but the performances have an almost Shakespearean grandeur.
-
75This move is both redundant and counterproductive because it weakens one of the screenplay’s central conceits — the way Bettany’s guilt is shared and experienced by other characters.
-
67A smart, well-acted and well-directed picture that adds up to a little more than the sum of its parts.
-
40Originality may be out of Blood's jurisdiction, but it manages to plod on, dutifully walking a tired old beat.
-
40Blood wants to be a Greek tragedy about family loyalties, guilt, and the fall of a dynasty, but 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.
-
40The film’s family-saga pretensions and bombastically overdone characterisation keep hobbling its better elements.
-
25Themes of family ties, obsession, and morality, so dramatically realized in Conviction, are gracelessly and shapelessly strewn together here.
