Sometimes there’s natural dialogue which makes the anxiety of certain characters even more prominent other times it’s too expository, which makes the cast feel robotic and distant. The script is mediocre in servicing the performances of the actors. However, when that balance is abruptly disrupted, the action and plot take hold of the film and nuance becomes scarce. The first half of the film is a slow but welcome build-up that secures a constant tone of mundanity. These background details reflect the struggles of the main character, Jim Reed (Tom Berenger), mirroring his lack of purpose and lost appreciation for life. Every unsteady step, gust of wind and crunch of clothing breaks through the aimless, sharp monotony of the score.
Blood and Money is loud and sensual against the quiet backdrop of a vast, white, snow-filled forest.
