    It was rather mundane and sort of boring...
    I had no idea what I was in for when I sat down to watch this 2018 movie titled "Blood 13" (aka "Xue shi san") from writer Tu Hu and director Candy Li. But given the movie's cover, I assumed it was a horror movie of sorts. Well, turns out that this was a crime thriller movie.

    The storyline told in "Blood 13" was a bit confusing, and if I have to be bluntly honest, it was a bit boring. There was just simply too little of any interest happening throughout the course of the movie. And that resulted in the movie feeling like it a was 4 hour movie that I was watching and not just the 99 minutes that the movie ran for.

    If felt like writer Tu Hu had set out to accomplish a bit too much with the storyline presented in "Blood 13", and it wasn't a wholly accomplished endeavor. I must admit that I was only mildly entertained by what transpired throughout the course of the movie.

    The acting in the movie was adequate, although I can't really point out any single actor or actress and say that he or she was the star of the movie. I believe it was the mundane storyline and script that was the cause of this.

    I am rating "Blood 13" a very mediocre five out of ten stars. If you enjoy a good crime thriller, then there are far better choices readily available. And while I managed to sit through all of "Blood 13", this is not a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time.
