Blood for Dust

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.

This film is a great example of excellent craftsmanship. The Director of Photography, Production Designer, Composer, Director combine their skills very effectively. Scoot McNairy is an excellent actor who delivers the role of cliff with Nuance and Care. Kit Harrington surprises with playing against type. Other cast members do a splendid job with complimenting each other effectively. Montana shines as a gorgeous location and character. Some of the landscape photography is spectacular. Some of the violence is depicted quite stylishly and occasionally with a pleasant surprise. As an indie film, Blood for Dust really stands out to show how so much can be accomplished with so little. The ending was very unexpected and quite well done .

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.

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.

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.
