Cry Macho (Clint Eastwood, September 17, 2021) Movie

adapted from the 1975 novel from n. richard nash

The film stars Eastwood as Mike Milo, a one-time rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder who, in 1979, takes a job from an ex-boss to bring the man’s young son home from Mexico. Forced to take the backroads on their way to Texas, the unlikely pair faces an unexpectedly challenging journey, during which the world-weary horseman finds unexpected connections and his own sense of redemption. Also starring are Eduardo Minett as the young boy, Rafo, in his feature film debut, Natalia Traven (“Collateral Damage,” TV’s “Soulmates”) as Marta, with Dwight Yoakam (“Logan Lucky,” “Sling Blade”) as Mike’s former employer, Howard Polk. The cast also includes Fernanda Urrejola (“Blue Miracle,” Netflix’s “Narcos: Mexico”) as Leta and Horacio Garcia-Rojas (“Netflix’s “Narcos: Mexico,” TV’s “La querida del Centauro”) as Aurelio. Oscar winner Eastwood directed from a screenplay by Nick Schenk and N. Richard Nash, based on the novel by Nash

Just caught up with Changeling last month and it’s definitely one of his highest masterpieces

 

looks quite bad but like all of his stuff ill give it a chance

 

damn

 

lemme know how this is

 

ayyyyyy

 

Nice. “Cry Macho” was pretty mediocre, but I’m looking forward to rewatching some of his greatest hits.

 

saw this at the theater yesterday. not a bad film. might rewatch it again down the road.

 

He has been notorious for that for a while. It is even worse when he uses amateurs.

 

guess this can be posted here too

 

This movie was booooooooring

 

drag his ass

 

"Don't worry Mr. Eastwood, sir - we can fix the fake baby in post."

"Y tho?"

 

I thought this would be much worse. Eastwood partisans and Eastwood detractors are both too overzealous.

 

Is it worth a watch? I’ve written it off already based on reviews.

 

Not really. It has all been done better before. I don't make an effort to see all of Eastwood's movies but it is not nearly as bad as the train one but it isn't as good as Richard Jewell or Sully.
