Leave your thoughts about In the Blood.
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)John SemleyIt’s overlong, overplotted and crowded with a cast of “hey-it’s-that-guy!” C-listers (Luis Guzman, Danny Trejo), but the closed-quarters combat crackles with bone-shattering believability. And that’s really all that matters. |
| The PlaylistChase WhaleDespite having a lead that can fend for herself, and a fun ensemble of co-stars, In the Blood runs dry. |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiLike a typical Hollywood action-thriller, though, the screenplay jeopardizes the film. The twists concocted by writers James Robert Johnston and Bennett Yellin are mostly predictable; and the ones you don't see coming are outlandish. |
| Washington PostMark JenkinsAs is typical of the genre, the plot gets sillier as it unfolds, while the violence gets gnarlier. |
| VarietyBen KenigsbergPulses are likely to remain level during In the Blood, a serviceable vehicle for MMA champ Gina Carano. |
| The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyIn The Blood plays like demented cruise-commercial fan fiction. |
| ObserverRex ReedMs. Carano still has a lot to learn about acting, but she’s certainly the one you want around in case of a home invasion. |
| The DissolveVadim RizovCarano deserves better: She’s a formidable physical performer, and the current state of the MMA film on the DTV circuit is strong enough to shame this wan, drama-clogged effort. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanDirector John Stockwell (“Blue Crush”) knows how to make the best possible use of his star while adding a strong supporting cast, some pretty scenery and a taut mystery. Stockwell understands most of all that we don’t need Carano to talk; we need her to kick ass. |
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterDeficient even in most of its set pieces, In the Blood does Ms. Carano (and Caribbean tourism) few favors. Somebody, please give her a better script and director. |
