Blood Work

Anything with Clint is good. Never saw a bad Clint move in my life :)

PLOT: retired FBI profiler has a serial killer from years ago contact him again."Retired" FBI profiler Terry McCaleb (CLINT EASTWOOD) is given a new heart via transplant. He spends his time taking 34 anti-rejection drugs a day and working on his boat. Wanda DeJesus contacts him to look into the murder of her sister during a failed store robbery. Terry finds he had been given the heart via his transplant of a brain dead woman named Glory who happens to be Dejesus's sister. Terry feels drawn to DeJesus and feels he "owes" her something. He looks into the "botched" robbery/killing of her sister which turns out to be anything but random. This is based on Michael Connelly's best selling book. This movie loosely follows that plot. The plot is very good and Terry is good as he figures out the "numbers and messages" at crimes scenes are meant for him. The serial killer feels a "connection" with Terry. This plot unfolds slow and methodically. You have to pay attention on the details of "why" and "who" via the demented logic of the killer. I give this one 5 STARS for a good plot, and acting. Scene stealer here is DeJesus who is a very good women who loves her sister and the son she left behind. Jeff Daniels is great ast the Boat Bum neighbor of Terry who spends his days drinking beer and driving Terry around crime scenes.

One of Clint's best movies that takes place in and around LA.

This move is good! It's older but it's a really good watch! Suspenseful, funny, and plot twist!

This is movie nobody’s or a lot of people have never heard about. It is an underrated hidden gem of Clint Eastwood’s. I highly recommend it even though it’s 20 years old it really stands up and it’s Clint Eastwood. You cannot go wrong except for that last one he made down in Mexico IThis is movie nobody’s or a lot of people have never heard about. It is an underrated hidden gem of Clint Eastwood‘s. I highly recommend it even though it’s 20 years old it really stands up and it’s Clint freaking Eastwood. You cannot go wrong except for that last one he made down in Mexico, I didn’t like it.

"Blood Work" judged solely as a film is exciting, well-paced, and a thriller you may enjoy watching, but if you've read Michael Connelly's book with it cerebral plotting and intricate maneuvers, then you're going to be very disappointed. Produced, directed, and starring Clint Eastwood, it also features Jeff Daniels and Anjelica Huston.It starts with Connelly's FBI profiler Terry McCaleb at a crime scene where he sees a message meant for him taunting him. In the crowd he spots the killer and runs after him. The exertion causes McCaleb to have a heart attack, but he has a chance to fire off some rounds at the murderer.Two years later, Terry, the recipient of a heart transplant, is visited by his murdered donor's sister, Graciela, who wants him to find her sister's killer which he feels obligated to do. To him, "Murder is evil, a hateful thing."Not having a "ticket," a private investigator's license he has to use his wiles and his connections in police departments to investigate the case. The sister was killed in a convenience store robbery that was caught on tape. The murder leads to another related killing at an ATM machine also caught on tape. Suspects turn up, but they, too, end up murdered. Also, inexplicably McCaleb is being followed.The viewer's credulity gets sorely tested by some of the incidents as McCaleb follows up leads. Instead of following Connelly's plot, the screenwriter dreams up a melodramatic and incredible ending that even moviegoers, not knowing the book's plot, are going to find difficult to swallow.The murderer would have to be a wonder worker to get around the way he does and get away with all the shenanigans that go on in the last third of the movie.Mr. Eastwood, if you're going to choose the work of one of America's top crime writers, try to stick to his superior plotting and brainier twists and turns. Even though your acting if fine, your directorial and producing skills have produced a very flawed product.

Great movie as always Clint keep up the great work
