Works perfect for him, but it’s overrated. Now you are nothing.” He replies, “Well, I used to be a lot of things, but I’m not now.

Being a biased fan of Eastwood, I will not rave about it, but suggest you to watch. The films location subtle beauty shines for sure, Eastwood continues to amaze. What ensues is a sublime Road Trip movie crafted with peaceful pace. Don’t be deceived by its title for it’s not a Sergio Leone’s spaghetti western where Mexican standoffs took place but it’s a movie without a gunshot. It is also reminiscent of Gran Torino but with a boy. The movie has many glimpses of A Perfect World also directed by Clint Eastwood, in which serious kidnapping, unlike Cry Macho, took place.
