Blood Work

Another Clint Eastwood essay on the aging process disguised as a genre film. The gray hero he plays here is a top FBI agent who retires after a successful heart transplant, only to return to crime-solving when the sister of the murdered woman whose
heart he received shows up demanding he track down the donor’s killer. A cop story that spends more time in the doctor’s office than the precinct may not be terribly thrilling, but at least it’s a different take on your average shoot-’em-up.
