Making It Official

he movie kicks off with an introduction to John McCaleb (Clint Eastwood), a very successful FBI profiler of serial killers. McCaleb is on the trail of the "code killer", a serial killer who is playing a game with him. Just as McCaleb is on the verge of nabbing the bad guy, he has a heart attack, which forces him into a heart transplant and retirement. Two years later, he is visited by the beautiful Graciella Rivers (Wanda de Jesus), who pleads with McCaleb to help her in nabbing the person who murdered her sister.
McCaleb, who then learns that his new heart is actually Rivers' dead sister's heart, feels obligated and decides to help. Much to the disapproval of his concerned doctor (Angelica Huston), and to the annoyance of Detective Ronaldo Arrango (Paul Rodriguez), who is already assigned to the case, McCaleb begins an investigation with the help of his over-enthusiastic neighbor, Buddy (Jeff Daniels).
In my opinion, "Blood Work" has underutilized a very interesting storyline. It has the advantage of a brilliant and original plot, which has quite frankly been taken for granted. The direction, too, was quite a half-hearted effort, and made the overall movie seem like it actually lacked feel.
