Blood Work
Director: Clint Eastwood
Cast: Clint Eastwood, Anjelica Huston, Jeff Daniels, Tina Lifford, Paul Rodriguez, Wanda De Jesus
Cert: 15PG.
He's a game old codger, is Clint.
The trouble is he's getting a tad too old to be chasing around like this ... he'll do himself harm if he
doesn't just sit down and reach for the fluffy slippers.
It's your conventional cops-and-baddies yarn in which Clint plays a retired detective - with a heart transplant - who gets involved in a murder investigation, surrounded by a bunch of stereotypical oddballs.
And, of course, the grizzled one doesn't waste much time in clinching with a lady young enough to be his great-grandchild.
It doesn't look good, Clint, it's the sort of thing could - should - earn you a call from the welfare people...and a couple of stout policemen.
There's nothing new in this so-so thriller, except Clint wheezing his way through the action and not looking good.
Star Rating: 1/5.
