: Bloodwork

Director: Clint Eastwood

Dang I hate idiot critics! I didn’t go see this in the theatre because I heard it was lame, but it’s not at all. I liked it a lot. It’s not a classic or anything, but a simple, well-done thriller. Clint plays a retired FBI profiler who has to have a heart transplant. While he’s recovering, a woman visits him and reveals he has her sister’s heart. Her sister was murdered, and she asks Clint to investigate. Against the advice of his doctor, Clint does, and what unravels is a clever tangle with a number of good surprises. The film’s low-key and certainly not an action flick, but it moves well, is interesting, and I liked the way the script tied all the lose ends together in the twist conclusion. Good stuff.
