Review by A_Different_Drummer (6/10):
A hit and a miss. Michelle Monaghan is great. A
decade ago, you could find her in literally every
romcom coming out of Tinseltown, playing the
love interest on the distaff side. Props to her for
successfully maintaining a career in drama films
like this one, films that rely entirely on acting
chops. And Brad Anderson has forgotten more
about sci-fi than most creators today actually
know, another veteran. Blood is an eponymous
title, and yes the viewers get what they pay for.
But, acting aside, the story is not satisfying and
the characters continually make bad choices
- which can be distressing for theater patrons
