Reception
Fredrik Strage called Blodsbröder a "total collapse" ("totalkollaps") in a review in Dagens Nyheter. Esbjörn Guwallius, writing for Swedish film site film.nu, described it as a "positive surprise", while noting that many would probably call it a fiasco. Writing for Svenska Dagbladet, Jeanette Gentele called it "exciting, well executed and a little bit amusing" ("spännande och välgjord och även litet rolig") while Jan-Olov Andersson called it "better than expected" in Aftonbladet.
