Nice film in which a retired cop gets a new heart, but not without consequences. A fairly entertaining police thriller. Some of the plot elements are a bit garish and sometimes a bit far-fetched. The final is also quite standard. Clint Eastwood is entertaining as the old hand. Not bad, but far from his best work.

We begin to appreciate the man (Clint Eastwood) more and more as we get to know his films in which he starred as an actor and directed as a director for the past decades. As an actor, the man is often a downright sober person who rarely if ever shows a smile, but still has humor in his speech. In this story, too, he is that down-to-earth American who works for the FBI as a trace detective and often sees things that other police officers have overlooked.
After being listed for a transplant due to a heart attack and receiving a "new" heart, a certain Graciella Rivers visits him and asks him to track down the culprit who killed her sister.
He decides to grant her request and goes after the perpetrator. It soon becomes apparent that there is more to the death of Gracielle's sister than the viewer and our ex-cop suspect.
A wonderful film with a beautiful story and the necessary tension that befits a thriller.
We had a great time with this and the verdict is a spacious 7!
On to the next Eastwood production.

I always enjoy watching Eastwood and in this film he played a great part again. Daniels also did well. The story is different, but bearing in mind that it is a psychopath, some things can be explained. It's the second time I've seen this movie and I liked it just as much as the first time; that was just after he appeared. The encounters between Terry and Detective Ronaldo started to get boring at some point; that was a bit too much of a good thing. Fascinating and occasionally exciting film, unfortunately with a predictable ending, but that didn't spoil the viewing pleasure.
