Retired FBI profiler Terry McCaleb (Eastwood), who has recently had a heart transplant, is hired by Graciela Rivers (De Jesus), to investigate the death of her sister, Gloria, who happens to have given McCaleb his heart. On the case, he soon deduces that the killer, who staged the murder to look like a random robbery, may actually be a serial killer Terry was trailing for years in the FBI. Can the elderly and feeble McCaleb, who had intended to spend his retirement living on his boat in the Los Angeles harbor, and who can't drive, and has to nap regularly, muster up the endurance to find the killer?
Still recovering from a heart transplant, a retired FBI profiler returns to service when his own blood analysis offers clues to the identity of a serial killer.
A well made thriller which for the three quarters of its length is riveting entertainment. Unfortunately its impact is lessened by a typical Hollywood action thriller climax. Eastwood is in good form and is on screen throughout whilst Daniels provides good support. Although some of the cop characters are a little cliched and two-dimensional in their stubborness and stupidity there is a depth here absent in most big cop thrillers of the day. Elements of two of Eastwood's best nineties films (IN THE LINE OF FIRE and TRUE CRIME)are present here and the star is still a major presence.
While there are things I liked about this movie–it freely admits the main character is too old and weak to be chasing after killers and its subject matter is unique–the awful dialogue, the slipshod production values, and the plot holes take it down a few notches. <br/><br/>Brief summary: Eastwood plays a retired FBI profiler who has had a heart transplant and gets called out of retirement to solve the murder of the young woman whose heart he now uses. Eastwood is famous in the business for making films quickly and under budget and in this movie it shows. There were moments when I thought, &#39;surely there must have been more than one take of this?&#39; Eastwood even stumbles over a phrase and they still used the take. According to the lore, Eastwood tells the actors to do a scene, assuring them they&#39;re just rehearsing or that he&#39;s merely adjusting the focus. The actors then do a relaxed take and then Eastwood says, &#39;okay, that was pretty good, let&#39;s just use that, next.&#39; There is also a credit for a film score, but I don&#39;t recall hearing much if any background music, something that certainly could have added atmosphere, especially in a supposed thriller.<br/><br/>My other complaints with this movie also include its dialogue, especially the canned exchanges between Rodruigez and Eastwood. Rodruigez plays an LAPD cop who obviously resents Eastwood&#39;s investigating a murder even though Eastwood&#39;s character is no longer a cop and doesn&#39;t even have a Private Eye license. The forced animosity between the two is so stock and stilted it&#39;s almost comical. There are other stock characters and situations that give this movie the look and feel of one of his dated Dirty Harry movies. At one point, Eastwood&#39;s character fires a shotgun into a car that he has seen more than once at a particular murder scene, and this without any questioning or provocation. For a few moments he is Dirty Harry again, and it doesn&#39;t work.<br/><br/>And finally the plot holes. I would discuss these in more detail except that to do so would introduce spoilers. What I can say is that there are more than ample clues in the movie as to who the real killer is, enough so that I figured out the plot about one third the way through, and that&#39;s way too soon, especially considering that I don&#39;t usually figure this kind of thing out that quickly.<br/><br/>This movie is worth a late night watch on HBO or maybe even a video rental, but that&#39;s about it. It&#39;s not a film I would buy. <br/><br/>Stars: **
There's a certain pleasure in seeing a thriller that's almost a relic of a bygone era. There's nothing flashy about Blood Work, no in-your-face nihilism, no hot young actors you'd know from the WB network if you ever watched it.
