"Blood work"

The day before yesterday night I saw a film on TV whose title in the original version is "Blood work" (if I have good memory), transleted into Spanish as "Deuda de sangre". It was directed and starred by Clint Eastwood some years ago and it could be said it's a detective story with crimes, investigations, trails, some guns and a little of blood, as its title tells us.

I've chosen this topic to write (writte) about for 2 reasons:
-the first one is because I find very interesting to share opinions about good cinema.
-the second reason is that explaining the plot of this story in English, and even in Spanish, is a challenge for me indeed. So, let's go!

The story starts when the FBI agent called McClabe is investigating a series of crimes by the same murderer who always leaves him messages in the places where he kills (killes) his victims, as they were (would be) playing a game. But due to some heart problems McClabe goes through a heart attack. Therefore he has no other choice than leaving his job. Fortunately for him, he gets a new heart from a young woman, just died a few days after the attack, who was donor and had the same kind of blood than him. The woman was killed in what seemed to be just a robbery for money in a small shop. However McClabe finds out that it wasn't a real robbery, but a murderer's plan who wanted the detective to have a new heart so that they could carry on their "game".

As you can imagine, in the end the murderer dies and McClabe gets a young and beautiful woman that is the donor's sister. In spite of this typical Hollywood ending, for me it's an entertaining, good quality and recommendable film.

Clint Eastwood is one of my favourite film directors and he has directed great masterpieces like Million dollar baby, Midnight in the garden of good and evil, Mystic River or Unforgiven (one of the best 90's films).

As an actor, I like the dollar trilogy: "A fistfull of dollars", "For a few dollars more" and "The good the ugly the bad" (In spain: "por un puñado de dolares", "la muerte tenía un precio" and "el bueno el feo y el malo". And I also I like "Dirty Harry" sequel.

The movie you've talked about I haven't watched but I'll try to do it nearly.
