Clint Eastwood continues to surprise, in his nineties he creates a very solid movie and performs as a leading actor. Funny enough, but his current roles are sort of a continuation of the roles from 70ies and 80ies. Mike Milo looks a grown old tough guy Dirty Harry. In Cry Macho Eastwood explores the relationship between abandoned son, his mother and his not-so-very honest father. The movie reminded me of Eastwood's Gran Torino. Cry Macho has the same atmosphere, yet the plot is reversed, now parents are on the bad side not children.
It's a very fine movie.
