"Blood and Money" doesn't try to invent or reinvent anything, and is aware of it, but that doesn't help it much. Jim's spending his days in Northern Maine, hunting and trying not to drink, but things start going south when he stumbles upon a dead woman's body and a big bag full of cash. Tom Berenger gives us Jim Reed - a grizzled, seen-it-all Vietnam war veteran with traumas in his past, and in his twilight years.
In his full feature debut, John Barr seems to have optioned for imitating many other, better thrillers, because the story of "Blood and Money" is familiar, predictable, slowly dull and seriously uninspired. The movie turned out to be as derivative as its name, besides the snowy and cold setting it ain't got much going on for it. I suppose "Blood Money" was taken, so things were really freshened up with that "and" in the middle. and I don't mean Tom Berenger as much as the movie itself.
