Blood Work didn’t exactly blow the doors off when it was released, failing at the box office with a $31.8 million box office gross against a budget of $50 million. Reviews of the film were also fairly mixed, as it currently holds a middling 54 percent score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and 40 percent from audiences. Critic Scott Weinberg gave the film a fairly positive review, saying, “Blood Work is a lot like a well-made PB & J sandwich: familiar, fairly uneventful and boasting no real surprises – but still quite tasty and inviting all the same.”
Meanwhile, critic Peter Canavese had a more negative review of Blood Work, saying, “This vehicle—the cinematic equivalent of a supermarket paperback—plays like the best-ever episode of Matlock rather than a truly distinguished feature film.”
Both reviews are saying essentially the same thing, so it seems like your enjoyment of the film will depend on whether you appreciate a middle-of-the-road thriller or if you want something more memorable. Sometimes, a low-stakes watch that you know is decently made is just what the doctor ordered, and it looks like that’s what you’ll get with this film.
