Storyline:
Based on the book, “Cry Macho” stars Clint Eastwood as a one-time rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder who, in 1978, takes a job from an ex-boss to bring the man’s young son home and away from his alcoholic mom. Crossing rural Mexico on their way back to Texas, the unlikely pair faces an unexpectedly challenging journey, during which the world-weary horseman may find his own sense of redemption through teaching the boy what it means to be a good man.
Motion Picture Rating (MPAA)
Rated PG-13 for language and thematic elements.
User review:
Clint Easwood is an old man, his career as a champion rodeo rider long vanished with a busted back, his wife and child decades dead in a car wreck. One day, Dwight Yoakum shows up and points out Eastwood owes him. He wants Eastwood to go down to Mexico City, where his 13-year-old son is living with his ex-wife. Bring the boy to the border, and they’ll call it even. After some back and forth, Eastwood does. He discovers the situation is not as Yoakum portrayed it, but close enough. He talks the boy, Eduardo Minett into coming north, and they start an erratic road trip, pursued by the ex-wife’s goons, back to the US border, accompanied by Minett’s fighting bantam.
The problems with this movie are sizable, and they come down to the two leads. Clint Eastwood can’t move with any sense of strength. He’s in his 90s, and he walks like he’s about to fall down and shatter into a million pieces. As for Minett, he delivers every line in English like he is laboriously translating it. That’s probably not a bad decision for how a real person might speak, but for a lead role in what is essentially a buddy road movie, it palls very quickly.
Even with those two key flaws, I had a good time. Eastwood’s line delivery is simple and elegant, the story makes a good deal of sense, both emotionally and in terms of character development, and Ben Davis’ shooting of the high country in New Mexico as background, is quite lovely.
Given Eastwood’s remarkable five-decade run as a director, including his last five all being great, it would have been nice to lengthen the string. However, the miscasting, and particularly Minett’s awful acting choice — or perhaps it was a directorial order — make this one only watchable.
