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.
Loosely based on the 1998 novel by the same name from Edgar Award-winning writer Michael Connelly, 'Blood Work' ranks amongst the better films of legendary filmmaker/actor Clint Eastwood. But clearly, not amongst his finest. Reason ? The culmination, the twist in the tale, is a downer! Otherwise, it runs well.
Eastwood stars as Terry an ailing veteran FBI agent who's been given a second chance at life by receiving the heart of a murder victim. Terry is visited by the murder victim's sister, played by Wanda De Jesus, who informs him that he is alive only because of receiving the deceased's heart and asks him to investigate who killed her.
'Blood Work' is a terrific film, until, it reaches it's finale. The first hour, the first 60-minutes, especially, are very interesting and gripping. The culprit in any suspense thriller, should catch you by surprise. But the culprit in here and his motives come across as immature. And that's the reason why you don't, at least I, didn't feel energetic once the ends credits rolled.
Eastwood's direction is good. How one wishes if he could've worked on a better culmination! Tom Stern's Cinematography is perfect. Joel Cox's editing doesn't jerk.
In the acting department, Eastwood is dedicated and is in sync with his character from start to end. Jeff Daniels is excellent. It's sad that this talent hasn't been lapped up, despite delivering such memorable performances all through. Anjelica Huston is mechanical this time around. Wanda De Jesus is good. Paul Rodriguez hams.
On the whole, 'Blood Work' does work, but not big time. Nearly, a Thumbs Up!
While not one of Eastwood's best films, "Blood Work" is a welcome diversion from the usual summer fare, which is why it will most likely fade quite quickly at the box office. Eastwood plays F.B.I. Special Agent Terry McCaleb who after being stuck down by a heart attack while chasing a serial killer (who's clues are left in a numeric code that McCaleb must break) is given a second chance at life by way of a heart transplant. Terry, however in true Clint fashion, is brought back into the fray by his heart donor sister who begs Terry to find her sisters killer. Distraught with the fact that he is alive today because of a murder, he decides to get as many leads as he can. From there we are brought into the usual serial killer cliches (cat & mouse games, cryptic clues, red herrings abound) but without as much gore as one is used to in such a film. Eastwood decides to focus on the story more than gross out effects and for this film it works. It must be said, however, that if you can't figure out the end of this movie by the halfway point, you clearly don't get out much. It doesn't feel so much as a whodunit as it feels like a "when the heck is he going to figure it out." The mystery is practically solved by the end of the fourth reel; by a kid no less. Still the charm of this film rests on the man in charge. Eastwood seems to know what his audience looks for in one of his movies and tries to give them what they want. In all honesty, who wouldn't want to see Clint go after the bad guy with a giant cannon in his hand? He is the quintessential action movie hero no matter what the age. The supporting cast does a decent job as well with Jeff Daniels (as Terry's neighbor/driver/buddy/sidekick) and Paul Rodriguez (as a grizzled LAPD officer who can't stand Terry). "Blood Work" does nothing to advance Clint's career or the serial killer genre. But when stacked up against such serial killer thrillers such as the insipid "Bone Collector," (as well as most of the films to come along this summer), it isn't bad at all by comparison.
The film still delivers the goods, in part because of Eastwood's iconic presence and in part because of Daniels' scene-stealing work in what could have been a hokey role.
