Don't Believe the Hype

Best movie ever!

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

i was looking for something with a bit of grit and I found it in this movie.The acting was very good and the plot was interesting and suspenseful.The characters and the darkness of the movie all contributed to the feel of the movie which left me invested in the characters and how the investigation would play out and affect the lives of those involved. The acting by Paul Bettany and Stephen Graham was intense and the relationship between the two brothers was well developed. I liked the fact it had an ending which completed the story as there is nothing worse than watching a movie and they don't deliver the whole spectrum of the story. Definitely worth the watch.

Takeaway the amazing cast, and what you get is just another Sunday night detective potboiler that ITV would show, and a few people would talk about it the next day, and then it would be repeated and then forgot about.Basically, a girl is found dead, they arrest the bloke from Pramface who has a past and has now turned to god. But the thing is, he was in contact with the girl beforehand.The two leading detectives get a little merry one night, kidnap the suspect because they think he might break into confessing. Things get a little out of hand, and they inadvertently kill him.Now they have to inspect the crime that they committed.It's all about family, and how a massive incident can affect the balance of them and those around them. It's just done in such a bland way, that even the brilliant performances from all concerned, cannot stop from boredom looming on the horizon.Cox pops up every now and again as a boozy, dementia affected father, making the film more watchable, but then someone mentions a bacon sandwich and he wanders off.All in all, its a wonderful first act, very gritty and real, but then it goes all formulaic.A waste of a brilliant cast really.

Rarely does a movie come along that slips under the radar of the movie goers of the world that is as poignant as Blood. I know people have a habit of watching Blockbusters and judging all movies based on the salary of the actors and the budget of the film. Blood is proof, yet again, that a movie doesn't have to be high budget to be beyond great. I very rarely rate movies as most people don't really pay much attention to the actual review that is associated with the rating. The entire cast and crew of this movie were exemplary and deserve the accolades that go along with it. I have a new benchmark to base all crime dramas off of now thanks to this great and powerful movie.

"What have you done??! What have you done ??!" After a young girl is brutally murdered it is up to a family on the police force to catch the murderer. After all the clues point to one man two brothers go out and find him and bring him in for questioning. After it turns out there isn't enough evidence for trial they push for a confession. When the interrogation goes to far the family is now forced to investigate the crime they committed. This was an interesting idea for a movie and I am usually a fan of the British crime genre so I was looking forward to seeing this. I was not disappointed at all. The movie was a little slow at times but overall it kept me interested and I really liked the character arcs and watching all of them change for better or worse. The cast and acting is great and the movie is tense and entertaining. Fans of this genre will really enjoy this, I know I did. Overall, very much worth seeing and keeps you feeling tense and your not really sure who to root for the entire movie. I give it a B.
