Seattle Post-Intelligencer
It lets down in the last act and is probably too mired in serial-murderer-movie formulaics to garner Oscar attention. But it's his tightest, best film since "Unforgiven." - 75
Entertainment Weekly
Eastwood is now playing a man whose will is stronger than his body, and it's that tension -- between anger and frailty, steel and decay -- that powers the movie. - 75
Boston Globe
Eastwood risks embarrassment flirting with material this naked in its mawkishness, then jumps right in. He seems to want the world to know: Inside the 72-year-old body of this icon of virility beats the heart of a Mexican woman. - 70
The New York Times
A wry exercise in geriatric uplift. - 70
Los Angeles Times
There's a certain pleasure in seeing a thriller that's almost a relic of a bygone era. There's nothing flashy about Blood Work, no in-your-face nihilism, no hot young actors you'd know from the WB network if you ever watched it. - 70
New Times (L.A.)
The film still delivers the goods, in part because of Eastwood's iconic presence and in part because of Daniels' scene-stealing work in what could have been a hokey role. - 67
Austin Chronicle
Certainly merits attention, although it shouldn't be mistaken for one of Eastwood's greatest works. - 63
New York Post
It's an intriguing setup, filled with colorful characters, lots of humor and well-developed scenes.
