Blood for Dust

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.

If you're a fan gritty and dark, you'll love BFD. I love films where characters are driven to desperation and painted into corners, and that's exactly where Cliff finds himself as he steps into a life of crime that has depths of deception he is ill prepared for.

Montana was shot beautifully and was the perfect backdrop for this cold crime thriller. Getting transported back in time was a nice touch too.

Scoot McNairy is incredible as a downtrodden and desperate salesman. He is an actor who I think doesn't get the recognition he deserves, and was perfectly cast and he crushed the role. I enjoyed seeing Josh Lucas in a role that surprised me too, and he showed up great! Ethan Suplee was a nice touch as a large stoic henchman. And while some reviews seem critical of Kit Harrington I really enjoyed him in this as Ricky.

So yeah, if you like the gritty and dark crime thrillers, this is for you. It will even scratch your action itch too. BFD a must watch!

I think this movie was great albeit a slow start. The cinematography and the scenery was terrific. I think the winter months of Wyoming and Montana fit the main character's (Cliff, played by Scoot Mcnairy) was fitting of his personality and the mood of the movie.

It has a predictable storyline and that's ok. The story telling and pacing is just perfect for this film. I did want to know more about Meridian and more explanation of the opening portion of the movie. While getting a few details throughout the movie, I was hoping that the 17 months prior to the setting of the movie was explained more.

I believe it's an enjoyable movie with some great actors. Josh Lucas was great in his limited screen time and Kit Carrington (that's his real name ,not Jon Snow,lol) and Scoot Mcnairy were fabulous.

While looking to see what new releases came out today, I noticed Blood for Dust, and saw the cast and went in blind. What a pleasant surprise. There is great acting throughout especially by the co leads. Scoot McNairy, who is one of the top character actors in the business, thoughtfully carries this movie on his shoulders as a desperate man who can't shake the past and gets mixed up in some nefarious doings. While Kit Harrington is also phenomenal in an against type role as the loose cannon Ricky. They have good chemistry as old acquaintances maybe even friends. The action is well done, and there is some pretty brutal kills. The climax is extremely intense and had me on the edge of my seat. This is a must watch, especially if you like the movie Fargo. There is also amazing character actors sprinkled throughout in cameos. Josh Lucas chews scenery with ease and makes you wonder how we don't see more of him.

Beware, this movie starts out quite slow and uneventful, but it ends in a complete bloodbath of violence. And actor Stephen Dorff (the reason I chose to watch this movie) has only got a tiny supporting role of about 3 minutes, but nevermind that, because ALL the other actors involved delivered rock solid performances! I was really impressed!

Beware (a second time) that this is NOT a glorious, funny gangster movie, this is as bleak, true to life and depressing as it gets! But it definitely is one of the better crime dramas I have seen the last couple of months. Memories of The Coen Brothers come to mind...and that is about the highest compliment I can give!

The good: this movie has got a dark cloud of doom hanging over it, envisioned by the bleak photography and underscored with dark and twisted music. From the start till the very last breath, this movie oozes slowburning despair, hidden evil and violent chaos, but somehow this movie is about innocence as well...somehow this movie succeeds in letting evil turn into something good and wholesome...

The story: a desperate salesman, in financial dire straits, who cant support his family and his sick son, takes on a job with the mob. He "only" has to drive a bag of drugs towards a delivery point and collect the money for it. All things spiral out of control in a vicseral vicious and violent way I havent seen come along in a while.

Wow, terrific direction, solid acting performances, vicious storyline, what a great movie! I dont dare reommend this sort of hardhitting movie to my friends or family, but only to those who can stumach a slowburning ACTOR's movie, which is as bleak, violent, depressing and dark as it can get...
