A Good Heart
Blood Work casts Clint Eastwood once again with law enforcement although Clint is bowing to age and reality in this film. He’s not Dirty Harry here, in fact he’s got a real serious health issue, a really unique one for law enforcement.

While in pursuit of a fleeing felon, FBI profiler Clint suffered a heart attack it was the culmination of some systemic heart problems and he waited for several months for a transplant. When he gets it Wanda DeJesus comes to him with a request that he look into the murder of her sister which the cops have at a low priority, the sister being at the wrong place, wrong time at a convenience store holdup.

Of course with a little investigation Eastwood discovers that that story doesn’t fly, the sister’s murder is connected with another homicide and the usual jurisdictional police problems prevented law enforcement from seeing the connection. The sister’s murder happened within LAPD territory and the other is being investigated by the LA County Sheriff.

Eastwood has history with Paul Rodriguez of the LAPD the detective assigned, but he has better history with Tina Lifford of the LA County Sheriff’s office. She’s a great help to him working it all out and it’s a pretty scary connection all these incidents have with Clint.

I cannot forget the presence of Anjelica Huston who is Clint’s cardiologist and worried about the stress this is putting on her transplant patient. Clint is not doing Dirty Harry style action, but still it’s a strain for someone 71 with a heart transplant. And Jeff Daniels plays Clint’s neighbor on the marina where he lives on his boat and his man Friday for all the small details of his life.

Blood Work is a good thriller and nice to see Clint playing a man who knows his limitations even if he forgets every so often.Read More
