Good entertainment.

I like the plot of ‘Blood Work’. I’m unsure if it would hold up if you went through with a fine-tooth comb, but it certainly gave me the required enjoyment levels. Clint Eastwood gives a sturdy performance, as do Jeff Daniels and Wanda De Jesus; elsewhere on the cast, neat to see Anjelica Huston and Rick Hoffman, Louis Litt himself, appear in smaller roles.

It’s not as unpredictable as it perhaps thinks it is, due to the casting more than anything, but I had a fun enough time with it.

***Dirty Harry’s final case (not really, but seems like it)***

Recovering from a heart transplant, a retired FBI profiler (Clint Eastwood) takes a case as a private investigator because of his amazing link to one of the victims. Jeff Daniels plays his amusing neighbor, a dock bum, while Wanda De Jesus appears as his potential girlfriend.

“Blood Work” (2002) was based on a Michael Connelly novel and his corresponding protagonist, Terry McCaleb, but the movie comes across as Dirty Harry’s final case after retirement, sorta like “Gran Torino” (2008) was akin to “Dirty Harry, the Golden Years.”

Eastwood was 71 during shooting, but his character is roughly eight years younger and he pulls it off. I point this out to stress that he’s no longer kick-axx Dirty Harry. This is an aged, retired and recovering detective working on what is likely his last case. A lot of dialog is devoted to emphasizing how over-the-hill he is and how horrible he looks.

So, while this is a gritty big city detective flick in the mold of Dirty Harry, it’s way more subdued and mature. It’s more dramatic and less compelling. If you can roll with that, it’s a decent detective movie. It’s relatively realistic until the ending, which features a twist that I didn’t foresee (although others say they did). The climax is unlikely and smacks of a typical Hollywood ending. “A Simple Plan” (1998) did the same thing: a believable story that takes a “Yeah, right” turn at the close.

The film runs 1 hour, 50 minutes and was shot in the Los Angeles area. Anjelica Huston also appears as a doctor while Paul Rodriguez is on hand as a cranky Hispanic detective.

GRADE: C+/B-

Good For One Viewing
I found this to be one of those films I really enjoyed on the first viewing, but once you know the surprise ending, the second viewing isn’t nearly as good.

It’s a typically-entertaining Clint Eastwood film. He makes few dull movies, I’ll say that for him. Now that he’s gotten older, his weather-beaten face makes him all the more interesting to view.

I didn’t find Anjelica Huston’s weather-beaten face, however, as believable. Her tough demeanor, including vocabulary, is not something a doctor would have, as she plays here. Paul Rodriguez also is stupidly profane in his role but he does have a few funny lines.

The main attraction of the story is the twist near the end so, as mentioned, one look is just about right for this film…and it is worth one look f you want a decent diversion for one night.

Jeff Daniels give it away immediately
Here is the thing: The rather terrible actor Jeff Daniels gives this movie’s ending away almost immediately. It was clear right away that there was no good reason to cast him except that he would give it all away at first glance. Very poor casting.
