Review of Cry Macho

Cry Macho (2021)
3/10
Please Stop, Clint.
18 November 2021
I thought Clint Eastwood had retired from acting in his own films? In The Mule his appearance was just about understandable given the role but here he deludedly plays a basic leading man, fist-fighting men in their thirties while ladies half his age at a push go gaga for his doddery, skeletal, 90-year-old cowboy, falling for him at first sight or tempting him to bed as his elderly voice strains and he struggles to stand up or deliver his lines. It was embarrassing. Added to this was the fact that no one in the film could act. I adore the Clint of old (or even just a little while back!) but this sort of thing poisons his legacy, like late Bruce Willis or de Niro. I hope this is the last.
