This vehicle—the cinematic equivalent of a supermarket paperback—plays like the best-ever episode of Matlock rather than a truly distinguished feature film. [Blu-ray]

The pivotal teaser is a numerical code that baffles experts but gets cracked in one curious gaze by a schoolboy.

It doesn't sound bad...but Bloodwork is bad, oh, lordy, yes, it is.

Master filmmaker Clint Eastwood continues in the classic Howard Hawks/John Ford tradition with unobtrustive direction, relaxed pacing, and strong characters and storytelling.

Even as it ends in a flurry of absurd plot twists, Blood Work holds you in a vise.

It's mostly a pro forma police procedural spiced by a baroque twist that Eastwood doesn't really know what to do with.

The movie could have used a heart transplant of its own, for its ultimate undoing is its minuscule, phoned-in energy level.

Typically for Eastwood, there are modest touches to savor.
July 23, 2007
Eastwood's sharpest filmmaking since the gig that won him an Oscar.
