- 50Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiLos Angeles TimesMartin TsaiLike 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.

- 40The DissolveVadim RizovThe DissolveVadim RizovCarano 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.
- 40New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanDirector 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.
- 40The New York TimesAndy WebsterThe New York TimesAndy WebsterDeficient 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.

- 25Slant MagazineDrew HuntSlant MagazineDrew HuntAside from being another rote addition to the revenge-film canon, John Stockwell's In The Blood is also a supreme waste of Gina Carano's talent.
- 25RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoRogerEbert.comBrian TallericoWhen you reach the critical point that you consider that Trejo, the star of such gems as “Zombie Hunter” and “Dead in Tombstone”, to be above this material, you know you’re in a rare category of awful.
