Cry Macho

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

I recently tried to watch this movie while it was free on an airplane. I gave it about 20 minutes and turned it off due to the horrible intro into the plot and crap acting. I did watch The Mule a while back and could understand that but this was rotten. For reference, the only other movie that I have, also, opted to turn off while watching it for free on an airplane was Morbius………

I was surprised that this movie is directed by eastwood

Non male, peccato che sia un po' noioso, ma ribadisco, niente male

Not a huge fan of lots of Eastwood's work, but this one I enjoyed. His character is well-played & believeable, despite his advancing age.

It's ok at best, but slow and hollow.

"Cry Macho" is a story about Mike, played by Eastwood, who goes down to Mexico to pick up his boss's son. The script had been bouncing around Hollywood since the 80's and finally got released 40 years later. And yes, stories like this are at risk of feeling derivative of older material...and this is the case for this film. What helps this stand out from other movies of this kind are: 1. The little touches of quality that Eastwood adds through his directing. And 2. The truly strange choices that the film takes. Starting with the good Eastwood touches. All the characters are memorable despite how little screen time they may receive. The border patrol members get a scene to flesh them out. Two random police officers get a scene. The mother of the kid only has two scenes, but she still makes an impact. There are several scenes that don't necessarily move the story forward, but they do help the audience get to know the characters. Now the weird choices the story makes. Why does the movie spend so much screen time on 3 hippies and a border guard if they don't ever impact the story again? Why are the villains so hilariously easy to dispatch? I mean at one part the main villain is taken out by an angry chicken. The main kid speaks in a heavy accent, as if he is struggling to speak English. This creates a barrier in the child's acting. This makes it harder for the audience to connect with the character. 30% of the dialogue has to be repeated, first in Spanish, then translated to Mike in English. This unnecessarily slows down the story while adding nothing to it. And finally, the ending, which I won't spoil here, involves a completely random detour and ends in an awkward spot emotionally.

It’s frustrating coming from two GREAT movies and then get this thing full of stereotypical things about Mexico. And why went to Mexico City and portraying that way. But the most sad is watch Mr. Eastwood form a serious age trying to dance when he has trouble to walk, this shouldn’t be his last movie, The Mule was great for the last one, that should it be his retirement.

This movie has some heart, good scenery , music, and there's something magnetic about Clint Eastwood even at 90. But the movie is pretty slow, and pretty hard to believe, Clint is shown breaking in horses and punches a thug at one point, but he's clearly a frail old man! He also picks up Spanish in a couple of weeks... Tbh I am surprised I made it to the end. Not terrible, but if Clint acts again it ought to be a story that makes sense for a very very elderly person. Meh movie, and wouldn't have watched it but for the FOMO of it leaving Netflix

The ghoul from Fallout and a kid who can't act. The best performance was by the cock. It was funny how bad it was. Child friendly as there is zero tension and nothing happens.
