Hurst earns points for effort, but his film ultimately falls short of a passing grade.

Tout petit thriller britannique sans autre grande ambition que de surfer sur la vague Guy Ritchie, New Blood s'en sort plutôt pas mal, grâce à ses quelques scènes d'action pleine d'ironie, d'inventivité dû à un budget famélique, mais surtout grâce à son casting étonnant. Joe Pantoliano et Carrie-Anne Moss se retrouvent après Matrix dans des rôles de cruels méchants, tandis que Shawn Wayans joue un très bon second du héros. On y retrouve John Hurt en deus ex machina afin de conclure une intrigue qui commençait à partir dans le n'importe quoi. New Blood n'est pas un film très rigoureux, mais le premier film de Michael Hurst méritait un peu mieux que ce total oubli.

The heart transplant, which is the crux of this movie, is a questionable point. Transplant organs are strictly regulated, and even if the twin brother volunteers his heart, whether a doctor and hospital would perform the transplant with a questionable donor is itself very shaky ground, in an already rather shaky plot. The twists were a bit too twisty, but John Hurt always gives a performance worth seeing.

This is not a movie I would recommend. It had potential with a nice story but porly executed. The acting is... well nothing special and the dialoge seems so fake.
