Critics Consensus

While well-acted and skillfully directed, Blood never quite manages to draw its themes and characters into a coherent, compelling whole.

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

Rated: 3/5

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

Rated: 3.5/4

New York Post

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

Rated: 1.5/4

A little more foundation in front would be a good thing, but on the whole, it works.

Some details jar but this is an atmospheric film with ambition and power.

An intense film, this is 90 minutes that will fly by and leave you as drained as the characters of this drama.

Giallo poliziesco che ben presto diviene una specie di rivisitazione di "Delitto e Castigo". Un abuso della polizia, raccontato in maniera troppo spiccia per essere credibile, porta due fratelli poliziotti a dover nascondere il loro crimine. Il finale è abbastanza scontato viste le premesse, non ci sono aspetti particolarmente originali e nemmeno grandi spunti.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Gets a little overly dramatic at the end. Good performances from the cast though.

Masterfully directed and skillfully acted. Blood diverted from the cliche crime thrillers with its adequate plot line and extreme thrill.

Rather than being another crime thriller about self destruction by guilt, Blood is fresh and intriguing thanks to its leads, directing, and pleasant cinematography.
