Clint Eastwood is more than an on-screen legend. He’s also a prolific filmmaker who still steps in front and behind the camera even at 91-years-old. His latest film is “Cry Macho”, an adaptation of N. Richard Nash’s 1975 novel of the same name. It’s the 40th film Eastwood has directed and his first since 2019’s “Richard Jewell”. The first trailer reveals what looks like a heartfelt redemption story set around the United States/Mexico border.
Eastwood plays a former rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder who is approached by his old boss (Dwight Yoakam) to go into Mexico and bring back the man’s son. The dangerous job turns into a trip of reflection and mentoring as Eastwood’s character forms an unexpected bond with the youth. Eduardo Minett and Fernanda Urrejola also star. I’m anxious to see where Eastwood goes with this and whether he can capture this material in a fresh and compelling way.
“Cry Macho” premieres September 17th in theaters and on HBO Max. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
Keith & the Movies 
I saw this trailer a few days ago and it looks alright. I hope Clint at least delivers with a winner if this is his last film as I don’t think he’s got a lot of years left in him.
Me too. Such a legend.
I just hope it’s better than some of his recent films.
Same here. I’ve actually liked most of his recent stuff but haven’t loved it.
I will see it. I’ve been a fan of Clint’s too long to give up on him now. I just saw his son in a movie last night with Jason Statham that was pretty good. When I think of Clint being 91 doesn’t that mean his son should be about 70? Scott surely doesn’t look at old! I just checked imdb and he was born in 1986, same age as my kids!
Yep. Scott’s pretty young compared to his pop. I’m guessing you watched WRATH OF MAN. Eastwood was pretty good in that.
I see that! He looks older than being born in ’86. Would like to see him get more roles. Yes, Wrath of Man is what I saw. It was better than I thought it would be!
I too thought WRATH was pretty good. Didn’t have super high expectations but had fun with it.
Well it’s Clint so I’m in, but it does look a bit cliched.
Clint sells it for me too.
