No pun intended of course. This is a low budget movie - with quite a bit of action inserted into it. Jon Snow seems to need money too (Kit Harrington is just one of the names you may recognize if you watch as much stuff as I do that is) ... the movie is not a bad one mind you. You may even like it a lot. But it does not really a lot new stuff ... and we are circling back to having watched a lot of movies ... to know the actors involved in this. The action is well shot, dialog is ok I reckon (though nothing to get too excited about) and the script ... well again nothing surprising ... so while you will be able to "predict" where this is going ... just sit back and enjoy if you can.

This won't do well at the cinema. But for those who see a lot of movies it is worthwhile. The cinematography is great. A slow burn to a solid climax. It's a little slow at times. Then the killings start to happen and it's game on. Acting is fine. Scoot carries his character really well, evoking a connection to the viewer. John Snow's character is a bit daggy this time. He did well enough but I couldn't get past his terrible beard and accent. I don't think he was well cast. The plot is solid enough, tension and action solid. Some cool old cars and a reminder of how simple life was pre-internet.

It was ok, a couple of well know faces a average script and a mediocre director it's everything you need to make a movie this age, nothing interesting nothing new it's just the same basics idea combined of every crime movie of the last 10 years. I can make something better than this after watching a lot of crimes movies i know i can, Kit Harrington outside of Game Of Thrones its bad, his career its just bad, I feel bad for the guy first he lost the love of his life, the queen of dragons and now his career its just mediocre and forgettable such a shame, so sad that makes me feel, i wanna cry tbh.

Those critics (few) who call the film formulaic or cliche would likely call Goodfellas just another mafia crime flic. One wonders if any movie exists in which these pundits wouldn't see a storyline they thought they saw earlier, somewhere else. They certainly mostly missed Blood for Dust's solid storytelling, the "never a wasted scene" directing, the great acting, and the compelling sets and scenes. Quoting Mark Twain, "We ... take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations." Blood for Dust is all of that: a curious combination of story, scene, set, production, and acting that makes something entirely new. There is tension from the first gunshot, from the first meeting of Ricky and Cliff, from Cliff's efforts to get a new job, to Cliff signing on with John, to the realization that Ricky is a soulless killer. And, at the same time, writer David Ebeltoft shows that he cares about - and compels us to care about too - Cliff, his wife Amy, and his former lover, Rebecca. Throughout the movie we feel profound empathy for Cliff, and in important scenes that some might overlook, deep sympathy for Amy and Rebecca. Of all the acting, dialogue, set design, and production value that take Blood for Dust to the highest level of its crime/drama genres, among the most compelling single moments for me came toward the end, when Amy removes a blood spot from a hockey card, and when the last frame is of a piece of paper that makes you wonder (even yearn to know) what would happen if the film had another 30 minutes to run. I really want to know. As an aside - I am shocked that this film doesn't enjoy better marketing and even better (already quite good) overall scores. Maybe things will improve when the film hits open streaming channels. But in the meantime: "Com' on folks. Let's have the public do what the distributor isn't." Watch the movie! You won't be disappointed.

Cliff (Scoot McNairy) is a depressed defibrillator salesman working across the Northwest, mostly Montana. The weather is also depressing. He had worked for Meridian selling hard drives and things turned bad. He is having money issues as her tries to provide for his family. He meets an old friend from Meridian named Ricky (Kit Harington) at a strip joint. Ricky is doing well selling what people want. He talks Cliff into joining him running drugs and arms. Having a station wagon with a defib dummy is a great cover. On his first exchange, Ricky shows up and puts bullets into everyone. Cliff fears for his family. This was a boring film from start to finish. Characters were not developed. Cliff's depression placed a downer on the whole production. Guide: F-word. Nudity.
