- 70Film ThreatAlex SavelievFilm ThreatAlex SavelievIt may not quite reach the heights of Fargo, but if you enjoyed Cold Pursuit or the inferior-but-similar Daughter of the Wolf, then Blood and Money will be right up your dirt road.
- 63RogerEbert.comOdie HendersonRogerEbert.comOdie HendersonIf only Blood and Money weren’t stretched so thin. More development of character, suspense and plot would have gone a long way toward making this stick to one’s crime genre-loving ribs.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeA solid B movie whose pleasures aren't diminished much by the screenplay's dicey dialogue — plenty of the film has no dialogue at all — it's a welcome vehicle for its star, who has been underused by filmmakers for decades.
- 60The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawCinematographer turned director John Barr serves up a generic thriller: the title lets you know that what you’ve got on the label is what you’ve got in the can.
- 30The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisAs derivative as its title and as implacable as its declining hero, Blood and Money suffers from near-calamitous narrative lapses.
- 30Rolling StonePeter TraversRolling StonePeter TraversFrom its generic title to an ending you can see coming from outer space, Blood and Money follows a path rutted with enough clichés to cover the three million acres of Maine forest land where the film is set.
- 25Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreThe story’s over-familiarity isn’t the best reason to skip Blood and Money. Its messaging is. And whatever butch points Berenger earns for getting the job done in extreme conditions at an age when “don’t slip you’ll break your hip” has to be a concern are squandered on a film that isn’t worth it.
