Blood Work (2002)

From NetFlix:

Retired FBI director Terry McCaleb (Clint Eastwood), feeble from a
recent heart transplant, is hired by Graciela Rivers (Wanda De Jesus)
to investigate the death of her sister, Gloria — coincidentally, the
donor of McCaleb’s new heart. McCaleb soon deducts that Gloria was
murdered by a serial killer he was trailing for years while in the
FBI but can the elderly agent muster the strength to hunt down the
killer and stop him for good?

This film could have been an hour-long TV detective show. Clint should not have made this one
because it is definitely ersatz Eastwood. Choose an episode of “Law and Order” instead.
So why did I watch it ? The plot is acceptable. Some of the supporting characters aren’t
bad (although the villain is not a great actor). And I feel good because I guessed who the killer was.
Besides, I have something like the flu and there was nothing on television.

Only for die-hard Eastwood fans.
