Reviews

Describing the film as ‘Breaking Bad’ Meets ‘Fargo’ in their review, Variety wrote, “A slow-burn Rocky Mountain noir set along the corridor between Billings, Mont., and the Canadian border — a cold, lonely stretch of highway shared by salesmen and smugglers alike — “Blood for Dust” establishes a ruthless sense of sangfroid from its opening shot.”

It added, “Bolstered by a strong, poker-faced ensemble with the good sense to underplay whatever menace each brings to the table, “Blood for Dust” does a fine job of making a familiar gambit feel unpredictable. There’s no way Cliff’s new gig will go smoothly, and yet, Blackhurst keeps us guessing as the tension mounts …”
