The tension between the characters is palpable in the trailer, with Harington's character declaring, 'I don't sell products that sell themselves,' to which McNairy's character retorts, 'You're an arms dealer who sells drugs, Ricky.'

Reviewers have praised Blood for Dust for its sleek filmmaking and McNairy's nuanced portrayal of a man caught in a downward spiral. The Hollywood Reporter's Jordan Mintzer noted that while the film treads familiar territory, it does so in a way that keeps viewers engaged and invested in the characters' fates.
Kit Harington, known for his role as Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, continues to showcase his versatility as an actor. In addition to Blood for Dust, he recently appeared in the Apple TV+ series Extrapolations and is set to return for the upcoming season of Industry.
