Again, a stellar cast cannot help this miserable film.Jack Nicholson and Michael Caine are on a caper to steal a necklace. Nicholson seems to be in a very bad marriage with Judy Davis. Davis is the bright moment in this... Read more
Struck a cord

I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the loss of the main character's mother, Nicholson's and Dorff's performances, the way Dorff looks out into the sunset at the end of the movie, but this one hit the love organ.... Read more
I'm not sure why I haven't seen Blood and Wine from start to finish up until today, but it has always been intriguing as that one Jack Nicholson movie I would see in bits and pieces on TV, with J-Lo... Read more

I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns of Blood & Wine's plot as I steered through it by some very interesting characters who were brought to life magnificently by a talented cast, especially Nicholson and Caine. None of the characters... Read more

The team of Bob Rafelson and Jack Nicholson made two of the strongest movies of the 1970s, 'Five Easy Pieces' and 'The King Of Marvin Gardens'. It would be unrealistic to hope that 'Blood And Wine' would be as memorable... Read more
Very Good 90s Film Noir

Jack Nicholson and Michael Caine are so good in this movie. The temptation to chew up the scenery must have been overwhelming, but neither did. Neither grandstanded, and each played their vastly unappealing characters right down to the last detail.... Read more
Stellar cast. Brilliant film making.

Jack Nicholson is typically brilliant. Judy Davis is positively compelling. Michael Caine does what he does when given a great script: exceptional work. Stephen Dorff is a great young actor, and Jennifer Lopez is stunningly beautiful, if at times out... Read more
pretty good flick

This is a pretty good suspense/crime/intrigue flick about a jewelry heist gone terribly awry. The big draw here is Jack Nicholson and Michael Caine, working together, for the first time, I believe. They provide two nicely contrasted portraits in malice:... Read more
