Writer and Director Bob Rafelson has stated that this is the final part of an informal trilogy he started with Five Easy Pieces (1970) and continued with The King of Marvin Gardens (1972). In the three, Nicholson has now played son, brother, and father. In this one, Nicholson is a wealthy wine dealer who has distanced himself from his wife with his philandering, and from his son with his negligence. After he steals a diamond necklace with the help of a safecracker partner, Victor, things start coming apart. His wife sets out to interrupt what she thinks is another one of his weekend dalliances, but is really his trip to pawn the jewels.
Leave your thoughts about Blood and Wine.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt's a morality play, really, but dripping with humid sex and violence. |
| VarietyDavid RooneyAn amusingly caustic, straight-up serving of film noir staples spiced with star charisma. |
| Boxoffice MagazineDwayne E. LeslieThe director benefits from a powerhouse duo in Nicholson and Caine. It's like watching two cats fight for the same mouse, because both characters are corrupted to the bone. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperThis was a good role for Nicholson and a better one for Caine. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesThe film takes several surprising turns and evolves into a decent thriller. Still, the script by Alison Cross and Nick Villiers too often gets mired in its own material. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsBob Rafelson uses the themes of greed, lust and betrayal coupled with riveting ingredients to bring an emotionally satisfying, biting thriller. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsDragan AntulovRafelson shows that he can't handle noir themes as easily as the real masters of the genre. |
| Time OutNigel FloydAn engrossing thriller - and one sparkling with intelligence, with the surprising twists grounded in credible human behaviour. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsScott RenshawIt might have helped a bit if there had been a hero worth rooting for. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkThe movie's own payoff is compelling enough, but the project has a weightless feel that limits involvement. Better you give it an hour-and-a-half on video someday, surrounded by wine and snacks. |
