Blood Work

Day 244 - 9/1/09 - Movie #240

BEFORE: Eastwood Week continues with another film about matching wits with a killer -

THE PLOT: Still recovering from a heart transplant, a retired FBI profiler returns to service when his own blood analysis offers clues to the identity of a serial killer.

AFTER: It's an intriguing idea - a retired agent trying to track down the killer of the woman he got his donor heart from. Technically an organ recipient is not supposed to know the identity of the donor, but Eastwood's (Terry McCaleb's) blood type is extremely rare - plus without that information, there wouldn't be such a personal connection to the case.

It's actually not a bad "whodunit" - you can use it to test your own observation/detective skills. Can you figure out the identity of the killer before the movie reveals it?

Supporting work by Anjelica Huston, Paul Rodriguez, Jeff Daniels and Dylan Walsh.

RATING: 6 out of 10 pill bottles
