Sarcasm isn't your forte I see...

[Xevious]

I like Clint, and think it's super impressive that he's still working at his age, but he's getting pretty painful to look at.

[DMC]

Is he a Sleastack in this film?

Being a psychotic POS is his forte.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Mule was okay but I'm still recovering from grand torino's underwhelming climax

[DJR210]

Now if only OP was smart enough to follow the 3 steps necessary to program his Fire Stick he'd be able to see the movie :cry

I doubt he'll ever die honestly.. he has at least another 80 years in him

You're still technologically superior to me, Cable Guy.

So have you watched Cry Macho?

[Xevious]

I watched it, because I can't imagine Clint making any more movies tbh and he's acted in and/or directed some of my favorites.

Not good. Clint was obviously supposed to be playing a younger old man than he was - 60 or 70 at most. The entire storyline (somebody asking a friend to go into a potentially dangerous situation in Mexico to retrieve their teenage son) becomes completely absurd when you consider his age. Some of the camera work was distracting because he couldn't do what the script required (chase a rooster down in one scene and ride a horse in another). Not that a stunt double is out of the norm, but he could barely walk upright the rest of the time. Aside from all that, the storyline wasn't at all interesting and the characters' actions never made sense.

[MultiTroll]

^ Can't read because i want to see it 100% unspoiled.
However, Q: Did you see The Mule and did you like the Mule?

(Realize one could entirely like the Mule and still find Cry Macho to be a stinker)

Difficult to see Dwight Yoakam age.

GD it!

These two things, plus, unless Clint's love interest was into great-grandpa's or getting a green card, I did not see the love chemistry.

Yeah forgot to mention that point. The love interest (as well as that scene with the mom) was awkward as hell.

I haven't seen it, for no particular reason. I need to eventually.

[ChumpDumper]

I am less interested in seeing Clint act than direct these days.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I hate seeing the all-time greats get old. Aging sucks.

Yeah I got 15 minutes in and couldn't take any more. Just too hard to watch

[MultiTroll]

Seems like The Mule would have been the perfect way to stop acting.

[DMC]

Like The irishman it seems, some old washed up fuck trying to CGI himself into the fountain of youth instead of getting someone that age to play that role.

He'd already grown old,,,the decimater was finding Yoakam like that after this...

Agree. Most unreal part for me was when Moms assigned gangsta was holding the kid and calling for all the locals that Clint was a kidnapper. Clint comes over and is going to fist fight him and punches him in the mouth and wins. FFS we expect some Hollywood but that was too much.

The way they had her pining over him from the moment they met. Think Eastwoods ego is delusional as hell and he leaks, makes that pours it into the storyline.
I am glad he went back for her tho. I thought they he was going to continue the cold-hearted-is-macho bullshit. In fact seems like Clint was trying to undo a lifetime of them with the final statement.

[MultiTroll]

Disagree. Basic storyline was very good imo.
Clints mixed messages I agree jack with the movie. He's empathetic to the kid, or is he? After learning the greedy motive of the father and Clint himself being very shaken by it, he expects the kid to just instantly process the info and accept it spattering in a bunch of "shut up, deal with it" type bullshit. Weird. Pulled some of the same shit in Grand Torino.

OTOH Clint sure made a point of saying the macho shit isn't what it's all cracked up to be. Seems like he was talking about his own life / film making career.

This was worse than I was expecting. The acting was terrible. Clint, Dwight....everybody. The kid might have been the worst. Can't believe they cast him. Or maybe it was the terrible lines. It was comical how many times they had him say, "his name is Macho".
The writing was awful as well. It's like they didn't edit the script at all. Or even try to do extra takes on the filming. A couple of times, it seemed like the actors were stumbling over each other and they just didn't bother to re shoot the scene.

And wtf with the ending. It didn't seem like Dwight really wanted the kid and was going to use him as a bargaining chip.

Definitely time for Clint to let go of the acting. At least as the headliner.

That's it & that's all.

I considered watching this the other night. Glad I didn’t waste my fucking time tbh

[Millennial_Messiah]

6.5 or 7/10, was a cute movie but lacked action, climax and a real ending/resolution. Can't remember seeing another movie in this genre where nobody actually died or got seriously hurt. Not even the rooster died.

Movies in the same genre like Sicario (2015 - imo the first movie was a solid 10/10, the 2018 sequel was about a 6/10 at best despite a 10/10 intro) were far superior, but Cry Macho was kind of adorable and kid friendly imo unless your kid is fluent in Spanish.
