Blood and Money

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Blood and Money gives Tom Berenger a too-rare opportunity to take the spotlight -- along with a middling script that falls back too often on action movie clichés.

The title lets you know that what you've got on the label is what you've got in the can. Go to Full Review
Ty Burr Boston Globe 05/19/2020
1.5/4
None of which can disguise the flaws: a boilerplate screenplay with more function than flavor; slack editing to pad out the running time; and absurd plot developments like a bullet Jim takes to the chest which bothers him about as much as a mosquito bite. Go to Full Review

The film has just enough wasted potential to be a near-miss. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 07/18/2020
Blood and Money isn't essential viewing, but it's enough to fill the time for anyone who wants to see a formulaic 'shoot 'em up' chase movie that doesn't have much action until the last half-hour. Go to Full Review
Susan Granger SSG Syndicate 07/13/2020
5/10
A frigid 'survival' thriller, chronicling the familiar futility of B-movie crime Go to Full Review
Mark Jackson Epoch Times 06/10/2020
2.5/5
Similar to "Uncut Gems," the film attempts to make you care about a character who's not really likable and whose uninterrupted greed constantly calls down immediate karmic retribution upon his head, which you're then forced to be annoyed by. Go to Full Review

Luis D @Palominito Nov 25 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Tight, Atmospheric Thriller That Deserves a Second Look "Blood and Money" is one of those rare thrillers that rewards patience. On the surface, it’s a simple story — a solitary hunter who stumbles into danger — but beneath that simplicity lies a surprisingly tense, slow-burn character study anchored by a rugged, grounded performance from Tom Berenger. What truly elevates the film is its atmosphere. The icy Maine wilderness becomes a character of its own: harsh, isolating, and beautifully shot. Every frame feels cold, quiet, and dangerous. The film leans into that solitude, creating a sense of escalating dread without relying on cheap tricks or overdone action. Berenger delivers exactly what this story needs: a weary, morally complex protagonist whose past weighs on every decision he makes. His performance adds emotional depth that many thrillers lack. When the conflict finally ignites, the payoff feels earned. While some may expect a fast-paced action movie, Blood and Money thrives as a character-driven survival thriller. It’s about choices, consequences, and the thin line between redemption and desperation. For viewers who appreciate tension built through mood and character rather than nonstop spectacle, this film hits the mark. In short: a gritty, atmospheric thriller with strong visuals and a memorable central performance. Don’t let the Tomatometer fool you — this is a hidden gem for fans of minimalist, winter-set suspense. See more Ryne M 02/01/2025 Honestly really interesting, just didn’t have great actors. Like i said really great idea. See more Rosana B @RosanaBotafogo 08/24/2024 Filmes de suspense e perseguição na neve amo, mesmo que seja um tema batido, roteiro previsível, clichê, tudo muito relevante, adoroooo... Perseguição, tiros, sangue, caçadas humanas, mortes, dinheiro, mala de dinheiro, uma mãe necessitada, um homem clamando por redenção, uma floresta irreiterável coberta de neve, excelentes ingredientes… Tom Berenger nasceu para esses papéis… E o desfecho fofo… Bom filme, pouco inovador, porem cativante e entretém... See more Matthew C 12/29/2023 Tom Berrenger great. Solid movie. See more Luis M. D 12/19/2023 The real problem with this slow-paced thriller is that the main character is not precisely likeable. As we see early in the film, he defies all sense of prudence when he decides to steal illicit money from a gang of robbers, even to the point of letting an innocent man die for it. See more Donald S 06/07/2023 The lead character did so many goofy things I wondered if this was a black comedy. 1 shooting into the woods without a clear target misses a deer... shoots a woman. Leaves her. 2 goes back to the scene of the crime to pick up a cigarette he'd left, and a bag of cash. 3 shuffles away in the snow from a gang of bad guys with machine guns escaping with their money for unknown reasons and...goes for a nap? 4 kept picking up empty guns and shouting 'goddamit' then has another nap while on the run 5 hit a guy over the head with a machine gun three times and the third time slips and falls into the icy river to be hypothermic. 6 hides out in a shed and stares out the window to be spotted. 7 waddles over to his burning campervan shouting goddamit, to get himself found again...and then shot. Somehow eluding machine gun fire by waddling away like a penguin. 8 apparently being shot in the chest was no more than a scratch. Coz he didn't bleed there was no entrance wound and didn't seem bothered. 9 found a car, found the keys, could have escaped. Stopped. Threw the keys away and shuffled back to get himself killed. 10 shouted Hey at the final bad guy he was hiding from. With nowhere to go, and was found awkwardly hiding to the point even the bad guy laughed. Everyone dies. The end. Nonsense. See more Read all reviews
