Blood Work Decent But With Flaws, 28 June 2009
6/10
Author: tburke85 from United States

Blood Work is decent but with flaws from Actor/Director Clint Eastwood whose admirable in making this movie in front and behind the camera but a slow pace and a predictable ending is what weighed it down. Eastwood turns in a good performance as Terry McCaleb a retired FBI profiler whose on the search for a serial killed he's been trailing for years. The rest of the cast including Jeff Daniels, Wanda De Jesus, Dylan Walsh, and Angelica Houston in a small role are effective as the supporting characters despite have very limited screen time. The rest of the cast are okay as well. The few violent scenes are well executed but there could have been more of them. This film seemed to be more like a crime drama with some action and thriller elements. The pacing was slow at times making the movie feel longer than it actually is and the ending which reveals the identity of the killer was sort of predictable leaving you feeling a bit disappointed. Despite it flaws though this movie will sure please almost any die hard Clint Eastwood fan. Overall Blood Work is a decent crime drama with some violence, a little suspense, and good performances by the cast but the movie could've been better if it had been faster paced and less predictable.
