Blood Work (DVD, 2002, Full Frame)

If you are thinking getting this movie you should read the book Blood Work by Michael Connely first if you really want to get the thrill of the story.... The movie ??? not bad. If you dont read the book maybe the movie is better.

I enjoyed this movie for the most part. The storyline was unique. It took me a while to figure out who the bad guy was...that was a nice twist. I really didn't like the love interest that developed in the movie between the sister of the heart donor and Clint. She was young enough to be his granddaughter. Just not believable.....sorry Clint, but you aren't as young as you used to be. Just not a believable match for me. They should have re-written it so that the love interest was the mother of the heart donor! :) I would recommend it for the storyline if you can look past the love interest.

Not one of Clint's best. Get one of the Dirty Harry movies instead. He is getting to old to play the cop on the street movies.

Clint Eastwood directs and stars in this must see movie that portrays the logical result of government intervention in private health care, combined with warped evil manipulation, set in a good-guy vs. bad-guy framework. Today the ethical issues of organ donation, come to a melodramatic movie that shows what can happen, and may be happening for donors to drive the supply!

The plot development is clear, the villain insidious (Jeff Daniels, *Dumber and Dumbest), and the women in distress make this a most believable atrocity with a conclusion related to the problem. A happy ending is possible despite the scars of a battle of epic proportions. The ties with organ donors, together with motivations for murder to obtain fresh organs, builds the investigation into a timely consideration for our nation, and the current health care system. The costs may be exaggerated for impact in this movie, but point is clear, the price may be more than originally stated. Without all the gore, we impatiently await the reaction to a situation that winds up to a wild finish.

More drama and far more intrigue here, with a final plot twist that hits the heart with maximum overdrive. Your experience concludes considering the possible societal impact of health care today, and some fabulous performances.

Together with a superb supporting cast, the former FBI investigator played by Clint goes mono-a-mono with an unknown adversary that ends in a shocking and atrocious unveiling of culprit in a violent and irreversible climax. Not recommended for younger viewers. Must see, this movie raised questions important in modern age of health marvels, and brings back detective work

Clint Eastwood, Jeff Daniels, Wanda De Jesus, Tina Lifford, Paul Rodriguez, Dylan Walsh, and Angelica Huston. "Unforgiven" finds a note of forgiveness in the ending. Shocking, stunning, and every kudos for and encore are the memory of this extraordinary production. Fugitive showed us how serious his work can be for our friend in Hollywood, and "Bloodwork" proves that issues that matter are more than action and explosions. Not the money, rather the people we care about and loyalty against overwhelming odds are the currency still traded by this cast, ENCORE!!

This is the only Michael Connelly book made into a movie so far. It follows the book pretty well except that the bad guy is a completely different character than the one in the book, so that was a surprise. Clint Eastwood plays the main character and as usual he's great. It's certainly worth watching. A good movie.

owned this on vcr cassette and wanted it for large collect of dvds . this movie has a great story in it , i`m not one to add details of the movie but it is a great movie filled with a great story , alot of action and of course clint eastwood who is a great actor . buy it, rent it but i`m sure you will want to own it to watch again and again .

i have not and will not see this movie , i got it for a xmas gift for someone else. the sale went smooth , i got a greatdeal on it and the shipping was fast.

Clint Eastwood's portrayal of this police detective, burdened with quilt over his own survival, is awesome.He takes the quilt he feels over being a, in his eyes, unworthy receipient of a heart transplant, and uses it those feelings to solve the mystery of death of his donor.And the "bad guy" turns out to be a complete surprise.
The best part is, it's Clint Eastwood, playing a police detective, and I never once thought he was playing "Dirty Harry"
What a great range of acting talent.

I seen this movie at a friends house and just thought it was so good, that I had to have a copy of it. I am very pleased with my purchase. Thank you

Clint usually always has a message i n his movies; whether you like it or not he makes you think. It is a movie that maKES you think. I am always looking to add to my video library, and this has been on my list for awhile.
