This was a movie directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. He...

Pros: unique plot, chilling premise
Cons: weak romantic angle
There are some debts beyond repayment, gifts for which all the recipient can do is murmur heartfelt thanks and then go on his way. These are the gifts that pass beyond understanding. In certain cultures -- according to legend -- the saving of another's...

Pros: Eastwood and Daniels make a good team
Cons: Paul Rodriguez
Fans of the work of Clint Eastwood have come to see him primarily as a tough-talking, straightforward man of action. In this movie persona, Eastwood has made himself memorable by playing men who want to see justice served, even if it means straying...

by bilavideo - Top 1000, Dec 04 '04
Pros: some elements work, Jeff Daniels was interesting
Cons: no pulse, bad dialogue, slow pace, implausible storyline
Clint Eastwood's Bloodwork is a miscalculation wrapped around a screw-up, in a bundle of stupid weighted by boredom-as-ballast. Needless to say, I didn't like it. I'm a sucker for a good trailer, and Eastwood's people pitched this one with grit. ...

by Kidnykid - Top 1000, Aug 10 '02
Pros: Reminiscent of Dirty Harry et al
Cons: Can I drive a Mack truck through the holes in this plot?
The plot of BLOOD WORK can be summarized very easily. Clint Eastwood plays a former FBI profiler forced to retire after a heart attack suffered on the job while looking for a killer who has taunted him for ages. He spends two years waiting for a donor,...

by movie_critic , Sep 26 '02
Pros: plot
Cons: slow, boring, predictable, ending
Blood Work, Clint Eastwood’s latest self-glorifying movie, once again pins him in the glamorous role, although he is much older and fragile this time. He’s still the top cop, only a little weaker. Unfortunately, this flick has only an interesting story...

by xeno3998 - Top 1000, Aug 09 '02
Pros: Feels like it came out of 1988
Cons: lame "lieutenant" cliche, pathetic love plot
I haven't seen a decent murder mystery in some time. The last one worth watching was True Crime, another of Eastwood's films. Now I can't sit here and say that Blood Work - or any of his films for that matter, are going to win an Oscar or blow you...

by pach1908 - Top 1000, Aug 10 '02
Pros: Performances by Jeff Daniels, Anjelica Huston, classic opening chase and final scene aboard abandoned boat.
Cons: the two dumb cops, unfortunate shotgun scene.
I'm not quite sure I'd go so far as to call Clint Eastwood an auteur. Putting Eastwood on the same level as divas like Coppola and Robert Altman seems absurd. Eastwood's ambitions as a director are far too modest, and most of his recent work with the...

by gabe_ratliff , Aug 10 '02
Pros: Jeff Daniels is great; intriguing premise.
Cons: Lackluster, poorly acted, cliched... the list goes on.
Clint Eastwood's latest exercise in mediocrity does little to justify its existence other than sport a mildly intriguing premise. Since In the Line of Fire, Eastwood's career has had its share of lows - in fact, aside from the mildly entertaining...

by ferret8888 , Aug 20 '02
Pros: Its hard to find one... in focus?
Cons: Poor acting, bad story, awkward camera work, scenes drag on for hours
I know, the title of my review was a real cliffhanger. Gee, I wonder if he liked the movie? Well, if you haven't caught my drift yet, here it is: this movie stinks. It's awful in fact.
I went to the theater this past Friday with very...

Pros: Good production values, innovative story.
Cons: Like other Clint Eastwood police thrillers, a trifle cartoonish.
In an interview a few years ago, Clint Eastwood was asked what was the principal characteristic of ...

Pros: Manages to hold your attention if only to remind you of how awful it is.
Cons: Stretches suspension of disbelief to a new low; old Eastwood nabs yet another young chick
Others have commented on the good old days of Clint Eastwood films, including Play Misty for Me (a classic worth owning), In The Line of Fire and his Harry Callahan series being some of the best. I have always enjoyed Eastwood's way of playing a cop as...

by SKAD13 - Top 1000, Aug 07 '02
Pros: Good ensemble work; nice plot twists
Cons: Where did they get that ending??
For quite a while, Blood Work coasts along on the goodwill built up by director-star Clint Eastwood. It's a leisurely paced but still fetching mystery. But then there's that ending.
Eastwood plays Terry McCaleb, an FBI director who...
