Movie	Blood Work
Nutshell	Brian Helgeland's taut adaptation of Michael Connelly's murder mystery novel about a former FBI agent who tries to solve the murder of a woman whose heart was transplanted into him.
Good Things	Clint Eastwood acting and directing and a fabamundo script. Plus San Pedro and Anjelica Huston.
Bad Things	Someone explain the Jasper thing to me. I didn't get that at all.
Features	Wanda DeJesus, harmonica playing, Tina Lifford, surgical procedures, Krispy Kreme, Chuck Taylors, San Pedro Harbor, ginger Police Captain, Dylan Walsh, sort of a lot of shots of shirtless elderly men (I am looking at you, Clint), Igor Jijikine as the crazy Russian Bastard, Mason Lucero and a big backpack, Rick Hoffman, another badass who lives on a boat, and oddly compelling personal checks
Uncomfortable Moments	Paul Rodriguez being the angry LAPD guy. Okay we get it. Shut up already. Geez.
Notable	I take all the stuff back that I said about Brian Helgeland after "A Knight's Tale" came out. He is going to be okay, I think. This film definitely shows him at the top of his form.
Best Part	Jeff Daniels. Love that Jeff Daniels.
Best Line	"What a waste of a good Mexican heart!"
Crowns	4 out of 5
