Great actors, interesting (though it could go anywhere, but it took plenty of intriguing turns) premise, okay cinematography, yes, yes, yes... bút: 'Blood' failed quite miserably all in all.
The main problem is that there is so much crammed into only ninety minutes that it is simply impossible to take. All of the ideas have potential, but hardly any of them come out right.
After seeing this one, I found out there was a 360 minutes miniseries years before on which this was based ('Conviction'), I hope I'll be able to find it somewhere, hoping it will turn out to be just the appropriate form - and that the acting will be (at least) just as good.
3 out of 10, mostly for the acting.
P.s. I was really taken with the small, small supporting role by Adrian Edmonson - when's he going to get a lead in something significant?!
