Clint Eastwood in the 2000s Clint Eastwood in the 2000s In 2000, Clint Eastwood directed and starred in "Space Cowboys" as Frank Corvin, a retired NASA engineer called upon to save a failing Russian satellite. Roger Ebert commented, "Eastwood as director is as sure-handed as his mentors, Don Siegel and Sergio Leone. We leave the theater with grave doubts that the scene depicted in the final feel-good shot is even remotely possible, but what the hell; it makes us smile." In 2002, Eastwood played an ex-FBI agent on the track of a sadistic killer (Jeff Daniels) in the thriller "Blood Work". A. O. Scott of
