Editorial Review:
Description:
A former FBI profiler who has recently undergone a heart transplant comes out of retirement to track down the serial killer who has recently begun killing victims with the former agent's blood type.
Amazon.com:
Clint Eastwood's Blood Work is a refreshing reminder that Hollywood's young Turks can still learn a lesson from good old-fashioned craftsmanship. Settling into an easygoing groove that recalls his early work in Play Misty for Me, the 72-year-old producer-director-star acknowledges his age by playing a retired FBI profiler and recent heart-transplant recipient. He's recruited by his heart donor's grieving sister (Wanda De Jesus) to find her dead sibling's killer, and personal obligation compels his dutiful but health-risking investigation. From a sharp, sensible script by L.A. Confidential Oscar® winner Brian Helgeland (from Michael Connelly's novel), Blood Work consistently plays to Eastwood's no-nonsense approach, elevating the mystery while giving Jeff Daniels (as Eastwood's neighbor and amateur sidekick) a substantial role in the suspenseful proceedings. Some may chuckle at a brief Eastwood-De Jesus love scene, but there's ample proof here that Clint's still got all the right moves. --Jeff Shannon
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - For Clint Fans
If you're a Clint fan, then this movie will entertain you. However, don't expect too much suspense.
As soon as I saw the "bad guy" I knew "who did it", and the most obviuos clue was way too obviuos.
Rating:  - OK
Ok Clint movie, but not up to par with some of his best. And, when he takes his shirt off that young lady would have run for the hills. Not very belivable at that point, but a good movie for the Clint fan.
Rating:  - Blood Work
While the plot deviates a bit from the book, if anything, it seems more realistic. Eastwod and Houston are well cast and at their best.
Rating: - Solid detective movie with a heart
A Clint Eastwood movie with a detective that isn't Dirty Harry.
It has some good twists on organ donation and blood type.
I really doubt the writers know anything at all about the subject
as an A negative Mexican is probably pure fiction...O positive maybe.
I thought at first it was the doctor hiring a hit man to get hearts for her patients ( might be a nice psychopathic twist), but it was just a crazy serial killer in the end.
Rating: - Blood Work milks the clock and goes home early.
Blood Work makes for a different kind of detective story when compared to films that are similar in both setting and intriguing storyline. With Eastwood as an aging and retired FBI agent coming back into the trenches to capture a killer, the backdrop of his heart transplant and the connection between himself, the victims and ultimately the suspect makes for an interesting film. The problem with Blood Work is that it is almost too carefree and ultimately pretty low on suspense. Jeff Daniels is ... Read More
