Plot Summary
Former FBI Director Terry McCaleb (Academy Award and Golden Globe-winner Clint Eastwood -- "Million Dollar Baby," "Mystic River"), having recently undergone a heart transplant, retires to his boat in the L.A. harbor. However, he is soon coaxed out of retirement to assist a woman (Wanda De Jesús -- TV's "CSI: Miami," "Ghosts of Mars") in tracking down the person who killed her sister. As fate would have it, it was the woman's dead sister who gave Terry his new heart. While investigating the murder, Terry discovers that it may have been committed by a serial killer that he had been tracking while with the FBI -- a killer who has recently begun killing victims with Terry's blood type. Also starring Academy Award and Golden Globe-winner and Emmy-nominee Anjelica Huston ("The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," "Daddy Day Care"), Golden Globe-nominee Jeff Daniels ("Good Night, and Good Luck," "The Squid and the Whale"). Based on the novel by Michael Connelly.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: It doesn't sound bad...but Bloodwork is bad, oh, lordy, yes, it is.
Rotten: There are certain old friends who are fun to have around, but Blood Work does its best to reduce Clint Eastwood to something like the houseguest you struggle to tolerate after he overstays his welcome.
Fresh: Even as it ends in a flurry of absurd plot twists, Blood Work holds you in a vise.
Fresh: It can be argued, I suppose, that Blood Work was designed from the outset not so much as a whodunit as a why-and-how-dunit, and here the film becomes metaphysically ingenious.
