Clint Eastwood directs and stars alongside Anjelica Huston and Jeff Daniels in his 2002 thriller, Blood Work.
The Big Picture While Unforgiven is often considered Clint Eastwood's magnum opus, his versatility when it comes to tackling broad and important themes and varied genre fare is evident in large supply. While his spate of 70s westerns turned heads for their depth and at times mystic sensibilities , his thrillers have also regularly delivered with brute force impact.
What Is 'Blood Work' About? Based on a book by renowned crime writer Michael Connelly, the material was always a good fit for Clint Eastwood's slow-burn directorial style. The opening is electric, visually awash with shadows and the pulsating glow of police vehicle lights, as Eastwood's McCaleb finds himself once again called out by a notorious madman dubbed the 'code murderer', upon entering a gruesome crime scene.
In 1993, Eastwood played a Secret Service agent in the masterfully taut In the Line of Fire , and certain parallels can be drawn between each character. Both faced harrowing, deadly circumstances and each also feels beholden to someone. In McCaleb's instance, it's Wanda De Jesus' Graciella Rivers, whose sister Gloria was tragically killed in an armed hold-up.
