Clint Eastwood starred in, produced, and directed "Blood Work" in 2002. He is that talented and makes a darn good thriller. Alongside Clint Eastwood is Jeff Daniels and Angelica Huston. Paul Rodriguez is also in this movie and is so unbelievably annoying and repulsive that I am surprised that Clint Eastwood didn't strangle the man. It's like having friggin George Lopez in a Clint Eastwood movie...except, believe it or not, a lot more annoying and unpleasant. Every scene with that man got me in a bad mood and I couldn't wait for him to stop talking and just leave...luckily Clint Eastwood got mad at him several times during the duration of the film. I really needed to vent. The aforementioned man is the one weak spot in an otherwise highly entertaining, well put together movie. "Blood Work" is about a retired FBI agent, Terry McCaleb (Clint Eastwood...who definitely has some of the coolest jobs in his movies). He gets a heart transplant from a woman who had been murdered. The murdered woman's sister, Graciella finds out that Terry McCaleb has her sister's heart and wants him to find the killer. I won't ruin the movie for you. It takes a nice plot turn...either that or I am just really awful at predicting how a movie will end. Oh and just a heads up, Terry sleeps with Graciella which is unbelievably strange...even stranger than Clint Eastwood and Rene Russo in "In the Line of Fire" (another great Clint Eastwood movie). There's just something irresistible about Clint Eastwood, I guess. So, yeah, if you like Clint Eastwood or thrillers or just have nothing better to do with slightly under 2 hours then see the movie...I have a feeling you will be entertained...-Joseph Sbrilli
