Yeah I got 15 minutes in and couldn't take any more. Just too hard to watch
I hate seeing the all-time greats get old. Aging sucks.

Seems like The Mule would have been the perfect way to stop acting.
Like The irishman it seems, some old washed up 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 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 bull . In fact seems like Clint was trying to undo a lifetime of them with the final statement.
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 bull . Weird. Pulled some of the same in Grand Torino.
OTOH Clint sure made a point of saying the macho isn't what it's all cracked up to be. Seems like he was talking about his own life / film making career.
I streamed it porkchop so I'm making progress.
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 ing time tbh
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.
