camille l Tout petit thriller britannique sans autre grande ambition que de surfer sur la vague Guy Ritchie, New Blood s'en sort plutôt pas mal, grâce à ses quelques scènes d'action pleine d'ironie, d'inventivité dû à un budget famélique, mais surtout grâce à son casting étonnant. Joe Pantoliano et Carrie-Anne Moss se retrouvent après Matrix dans des rôles de cruels méchants, tandis que Shawn Wayans joue un très bon second du héros. On y retrouve John Hurt en deus ex machina afin de conclure une intrigue qui commençait à partir dans le n'importe quoi. New Blood n'est pas un film très rigoureux, mais le premier film de Michael Hurst méritait un peu mieux que ce total oubli. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I was Carrie Ann Moss body double Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Frances H The heart transplant, which is the crux of this movie, is a questionable point. Transplant organs are strictly regulated, and even if the twin brother volunteers his heart, whether a doctor and hospital would perform the transplant with a questionable donor is itself very shaky ground, in an already rather shaky plot. The twists were a bit too twisty, but John Hurt always gives a performance worth seeing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/13 Full Review Audience Member This is not a movie I would recommend. It had potential with a nice story but porly executed. The acting is... well nothing special and the dialoge seems so fake. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member It Was okay with some "wtf plot twists". Joe Pantoliano always do a great performance. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Uhh... Where are everyone? I mean all the critics? No reviews? It was good IF someone asks about this movie :D Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
