fresh:
Even as it ends in a flurry of absurd plot twists, Blood Work holds you in a vise.

It can be argued, I suppose, that Blood Work was designed from the outset not so much as a whodunit as a why-and-how-dunit, and here the film becomes metaphysically ingenious.

It doesn't sound bad...but Bloodwork is bad, oh, lordy, yes, it is.

rotten:
It's mostly a pro forma police procedural spiced by a baroque twist that Eastwood doesn't really know what to do with.

Typically for Eastwood, there are modest touches to savor.
