	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The strength of the picture (...) is that it has three intersecting story arcs: The investigation, the health issues, and the relationship that builds, step by step (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"It doesn't sound bad...but Bloodwork is bad, oh, lordy, yes, it is."	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"What 'Blood Work' lacks in speed and surprise it almost makes up for in doughty professionalism."	POS
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"One of those crime thrillers where the filmmakers can't see the forest for the trees (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Geoff Andrew Time Out	"Typically for Eastwood, there are modest touches to savour."	POS
United States	Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader	"[It] is ultimately just another 'Dirty Harry' opus (...) And by now Harry has become boring (...) because he doesn't try to redefine the punk villains who keep Harry busy and dirty."	NEG
United States	Jeremy Conrad IGN	"A solid little thriller that falls just short of greatness due to some big plot holes (...) If you can look past some of the problems (...) you'll probably walk away from [it] slightly entertained"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Clint still has presence, but he now looks very elderly, with stunt doubles to do fights and running and, for all I know, walking and breathing too (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
