Los Angeles Times
Like 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. - 50
Washington Post
As is typical of the genre, the plot gets sillier as it unfolds, while the violence gets gnarlier. - 50
Variety
Pulses are likely to remain level during In the Blood, a serviceable vehicle for MMA champ Gina Carano. - 50
The A.V. Club
In The Blood plays like demented cruise-commercial fan fiction. - 40
The Dissolve
Carano 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. - 40
New York Daily News
Director 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. - 40
The New York Times
Deficient 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. - 40
Village Voice
Carano’s badass-beauty charm notwithstanding, it’s a grim, formulaic saga in desperate need of some genuine B-movie fury and flair.
