How many other 91-year-olds do you know who are directing and starring in movies? None.
Eastwood, the director of the new film “Richard Jewell,” and Kathy Bates and Paul Walter Hauser discussed the FBI and media scrutiny the real-life Jewell faced following the Atlanta bombing.There are a heap of things wrong with"Cry Macho," the Clint Eastwood neo-western that just moseyed into theaters and HBO Max. But Eastwood is not one of them.
And just try not to choke up seeing this film legend back in the saddle for the first time since 1992's"Unforgiven." "It's time for new blood," someone stupidly tells Eastwood's Mike Milo, a washed-up rodeo cowboy who owes a favor to rich Texas rancher Howard Polk . When Mike's wife and son died in a car accident, Howard was there for him. Now Howard needs a kindness.
Suspicion is a default reaction for Rafo. Can Mike earn the boy's trust and return him home?"Take a nap, old man," sasses Rafo, who comes to rely on Mike for saving Macho and evading cops who think the geezer is running drugs. Can you name a dozen films with the same plot?Of course you can.
What a shame that"Cry Macho" hits the brick wall of predictability so early on. The screenplay, based on a novel by the late N. Richard Nash, feels like it's been kicking around for decades. That's because it has. Eastwood almost played the role back in the 1980s.
