It's fun seeing Jack Nicholson and Michael Caine on screen together, but both are sleepwalking through this film, at least by their standards. Blood and Wine is a bit of a snoozy crime/thriller flick, not really excelling in any areas while also being mildly watchable for most of its runtime.
I come away from it feeling like it was very middle of the road. The only thing that's close to memorable (besides the cast) is the fact that Jack Nicholson's character has a Rasputinian number of violent things happen to him all throughout the film without ever dying. Something about that was kind of funny, because he looks pretty old and kind of frail here.
