Blood Work
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.
Critics Sentiment
McCaleb pursues the Code Killer and suffers heart attack
Buddy kidnaps Graciella and Raymond on the cutter
The revelation of Buddy as the Code Killer causes a dramatic drop from 7.2 to 5.5 as critics found the twist predictable and poorly executed.
Blood Work starts strong with an engaging premise and solid character work in the first two acts, earning praise for Eastwood's mature performance and the compelling heart donor mystery. However, the film loses critical favor in the final act when the villain reveal becomes obvious and the climax devolves into unrealistic action sequences that strain credibility. Despite these flaws, most reviewers found it decent entertainment elevated by strong performances.
