- 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.
- 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?
- There are dumbed down films and there are just plain dumb films which this really shouldn't have been, especially with Clint Eastwood on board. The fundamental problem is that you twig the twist way too early and then your left with 40 minutes of dead movie to wade through until the mystery serial killer is unearthed, and by then you don't care anyway.<br/><br/>If we are honest Mr Eastwod is too old to be in front of the camera in action dramas like this and I thought his decision to be a world class director would have swayed him from not running around with a shotgun and beautiful young women. That barrel chest is wheezing a lot more these days and I just don't think 35 year old smouldering Latinas would fall at his feet anymore. <br/><br/>PLOT<br/><br/>Eastwood is retired F.B.I man 'Terry Macaleb', now living on a boat in Long Beach, California doing a bit of serious fishing and relaxing as his crime busting days as the number one profiler in the Bureau have long since gone. The main reason he's called it a day was because the serial killer known as the 'Codekiller', the man Eastwood couldn't catch, made him have a heart attack when he was chasing the hooded man down an alley, so serious attack that he had to have a transplant.<br/><br/>The beautiful sister (Wanda de Jesus) of a dead girl, gunned down at a cash machine, has approached Eastwood to come out of retirement as a freelance and track down the killer, the clincher being that he owes her a debt because the deceased sister was the person who posthumously donated the heart so Macaleb could live.<br/><br/>Macalebs doctor in the seriously underused Angelica Houston is not best impressed with his need to get back in the game, although fairplay to Terry as he's not just doing it to get in the smouldering Mexicans girls pants. Any over exertion of any kind could kill Clint while his new heart is still taking to the claret which is hard to find because of his rare blood group.<br/><br/>Eastwood uses his old Police and F.B.I buddies to start digging deep into the case and he quickly finds out he hasn't lost his touch. But he can't do it on his own and hires a driver and back up man in the out of place Jeff Daniels who's staying on the boat next door on the jetty, a kind of comedy detective sidekick if you will.<br/><br/>Macaleb is quickly on the trail of the killer and soon makes connections to other unexplained robberies, which lead to some startling conclusions, but has he the heart for it this time(excuse the pun), although by now he's the last to know as the audience has already put the kettle on and gone for a snack in the comfort cupboard as the plot has come undone like Clint's corset.<br/><br/>THE RESULT<br/><br/>It's a shame this script has been messed around so much because the screenplay was done by the guy who did L.A Confidential. I'm afraid American audiences are far dumber than Europeans (hence Bush' re-election) and need big clues and red herrings spelt out for them.<br/><br/>The gravel voice is still there but the physical Eastwood,like in his last action film 'Under Suspicion' looks rather sad running around in that corset with on set respirator and you just wana tell the big man to call it a day. But he's a macho man of screen and the staunch member of the 'National Rifle Association', when asked what he thought of Michael Moore's excellent 'Fahrenheight 911'in a recent press conference for 'Billion Dollar Baby', he announced that he was going to kill Michael Moore - for real -if he tried coming anywhere near his house, obviously in relation to Bowling for Columbine and the N.R.A's other celebrated he man in Charlton Heston being shown up. <br/><br/>There's one or two interesting ideas here and now doubt a good movie on the cutting room floor. I quite like the idea of a body turning up on the state line and there being a kind of jurisdiction conflict where the detectives argue over the case. In the end though this is a bit remedial and insults your intelligence as it tries to borrow too much from the excellent '21 Grams' and the equally silly' Return to Me'. What we have here is a guy that needs to be told to hang up the gun belt, take appropriate roles, its On Golden Pond Time.<br/><br/>DVD EXTRAS<br/><br/>The obligatory 'Making Off' tells you all about the film you have just seen with appropriate clips and a chance for the lesser actors like Jesus to pitch for work. A short on the cast and crew gives Paul Rodriguez, the eternal Mexican side kick in every movie going, also a chance to grovel for more serious roles.<br/><br/>'A Conversation in Spanish' sees the actor's talking heads in Spanish with English subtitles with in keeping with the films Mexican cross over themes. Trailers and stills complete the pointless ad-on's.
- 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.
- It's an intriguing setup, filled with colorful characters, lots of humor and well-developed scenes.
