A hominicide detective have problems with a local sheriff, after pummelling a man who supposedly attacked his wife, while they were on vacation at the sheriff small town.
Frank Veenstra from the blog "BobaFett1138" gave the film 4 out 10 and wrote: ""Blood Crime" has a bad written script. Well, perhaps bad is not the most correct word to use since the story is more just a highly unlikely one. You just never get sucked into it because it all and the way the story progresses seem so highly unlikely. You can say that I even was a bit annoyed by the movie its story at times. It isn't credible and has some gaping plot-holes." Scott Weinberg from "eFilm Critic" gave the movie only two stars, stating: "Blood Crime is an interesting movie, if only in one very specific and silly way: it pairs one legendary actor who really ought to know better (James Caan) with one chiseled B-level actor who not too long ago was considered a 'next big thing'." Robert Pardi from TV Guide gave "Blood Crime" two out four stars and wrote: "If Mark Lawrence Miller and Preston A. Whitmore's screenplay had focused more subtly on the wary relationship that evolves between the urban and rural lawmen, this would be a far more compelling film. As it stands, there are exciting sequences but the film overall is undermined by a protagonist whose decision to tamper with clues strains credulity."
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film currently holds 26% of audience score.
