Show more >> Blood and Money tries to be a thrilling ride but often stumbles over its own ambitions. The premise of a veteran finding a duffle bag of money is intriguing, but the execution leaves much to be desired. While there are moments of suspense, they are overshadowed by a somewhat convoluted plot and characters that lack depth. The lead does his best, but the script doesn’t give him much to work with. The film has its moments of tension, but they feel forced at times. If you’re looking for a gripping thriller, you might find Blood and Money lacking in substance. It’s not a total loss, but it certainly doesn’t break new ground in the genre. Show less
