	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"This overlong and anemic drama features an impressive cast but is too inert to catch on with critics or audiences"	NEG
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"Result is a sluggish, dramatically undernourished saga that somehow manages to exceed the original pic’s running time by 40 minutes without adding anything appreciable to the story or characters"	NEG
United States	Sara Stewart New York Post	"It all feels so familiar, from the beleaguered female characters, to the scene-setting anthems (...), to the predictable eruptions of violence. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"There are some very good performances (...) in 'Blood Ties', but the movie fails to convey a sense of tribal identity within this world."	NEU
United Kingdom	Tom Huddleston Time Out	"If you hear an unearthly sound during 'Blood Ties', it might be Sidney Lumet's ghost attempting to contact his lawyer. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
