Review of Blood

Blood (I) (2012)
8/10
Blown Away

I seldom find British detective movies any good, apart from Sherlock there isn't alot to be a fan of. This movie was based on a 2004 TV series called Conviction.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find that series anywhere but It is clear that the writer and director were huge fans of the series and wanted to do it justice. There is a great sense of passion and respect for the storyline and the actors truly seem honoured to be a part of the movie and gave it their all.

I loved this movie, it was tense and mysterious, and maintaned that feeling through out. I was glad to see some familiar faces in the cast from some of my favourite movies and series. The acting was brilliant, the storyline was engaging and the cinematography was captivating.

Every scene had a purpose and no time was wasted as the story developed, I found myself completely losing track of time. The style of story telling and the underlying dread of the story reminded me of Black Mirror, which I also love.

I cannot praise this movie enough and it makes me sad that it has a rating below 7 or 8 because it deserves so much more, any crime drama fan should give this movie a fair chance.
