Accolades
- Too early for any awards but Clint Eastwood will surely get nominated for either Best Director or Best Actor or both.
Now streaming on:
Mr.Eastwood’s character, like others he’s played, argues in favor of kindness and probity over physical force. It’s a slow-release dose of sincere feelings.
CRY MACHO is something different – a deep cut for the die-hards, a hangout movie with nothing much to prove and just enough to say…If Clint Eastwood’s driving, my advice is to get in and enjoy the ride.
