Reception
Michael Wilmington of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a mixed review and wrote, "This movie’s zaniness, energy and wild, weird characters are its vein of gold. But, in a way, Blood isn’t all that unique, just denser and more compact. Many mainstream thrillers share the same cynicism about L.A., the same fondness for old movie motifs.[2]
Nick Hartel of DVD Talk gave the film a positive review, calling it "a consistently entertaining film."[3]
TV Guide also gave the film a positive review, describing it as "a stylish, well-paced romp."[4]
