Leave your thoughts about Blood Work.
| Zap2it.comMichael SzymanskiThe film is moody, oozing, chilling and heart-warming all at once...a twisting, unpredictable, cat-and-mouse thriller. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesEastwood's sharpest filmmaking since the gig that won him an Oscar. |
| ObserverRex ReedA welcome relief from a summer of freaks, fools and flying saucers. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzSolid enough entertainment for a summer blockbuster. |
| San Diego MetropolitanJean LowerisonDistinctly lesser Eastwood. See it if you're like me, and will see anything he's in or has directed. |
| eFilmCritic.comJames E. LaczkowskiClint has still got it. What "Blood Work" lacks in surprise is made up for with style and grace. A better-than-most murder mystery. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe strength of the picture, directed by Eastwood, is that it has three intersecting story arcs: The investigation, the health issues, and the relationship that builds, step by step. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonA violent, improbable movie done in tersely elegant style, and it may be the last action movie for one of the cinema's great action stars, Clint Eastwood. |
| Dallas ObserverAndy KleinIt's always nice to see Clint, and especially nice to see him play someone whose humanity -- no, whose mortality -- is all too apparent. |
| Salon.comCharles TaylorAs much as Eastwood ever expresses pleasure about anything, you sense a flicker of gratification that he can work with actors who can hold their own against him. Lifford does it without breaking a sweat. Howard Hawks would have loved her. |
