La película está protagonizada por Eastwood en el papel de Mike Milo, que en sus buenos tiempos fue una estrella del rodeo además de dedicarse a la cría de caballos. En 1979 acepta el trabajo de un antiguo jefe para traer a casa a su hijo pequeño que está en México. Esta extraña pareja se ve obligada a viajar por carreteras secundarias para volver a Texas y se enfrenta a un periplo repleto de dificultades imprevistas. Durante el viaje, el jinete, de vuelta de todo, tendrá encuentros inesperados y encontrará su propia redención. (Warner Bros. España)

Me quedé sin saber qué hacer con Cry Macho. Sin duda, Clint Eastwood merece admiración por el hecho de que incluso a una edad tan avanzada (y durante una pandemia mundial) pueda ponerse delante y detrás de la cámara sin perder nada de su encanto de macho. Además, esta obra demuestra tener muy bien corazón y tiene muchos pasajes cálidos. Pero en honor a la verdad es también una película realmente pobre, con un guión increíblemente fútil, unos discursos de personajes terriblemente superficiales y una progresión argumental nula. Solo al pasar los créditos finales el espectador se da cuenta de que lo poco que ocurrió en los últimos minutos pretendía ser en realidad la catarsis de todo el drama. Lamentablemente nada del otro jueves, una decepción de un gran cineasta, pero esperemos que Eastwood dé un paso adelante con otra película.

Clint Eastwood embarks on a journey to Mexico to find his boss's son and bring him to America. The cocky teenager and the old curmudgeon don't get along, but on the way home they find they can learn a lot from each other. This time, Hollywood classic Eastwood made a very slow drama that relies on his charisma and nothing else. And unfortunately, it's not enough. Clint is still the man, but unfortunately the unoriginal and predictable plot trip him up. A mediocre and unremarkable film that you can do without and that Eastwood's filmography could do without.

Clint Eastwood's acting grand finale was undoubtedly Gran Torino. I take all his roles that came after that as an epilogue – a respectable epilogue of a guy who's only doing it for fun, for the love of film, because he just wants to. So I can't be surprised that he wanted to star once more, and in Cry Macho, a modern romantic western with a strongly naive plot that I think deliberately recalls Eastwood's first TV roles. No, it's certainly not a groundbreaking role, and the sight of a 90-year-old veteran is moving, whether that's the intention or not, but it was definitely worth watching. And then, of course, there's the other side of things, which is that Eastwood also directed. And directorially, Cry Macho stands up without turning a blind eye.

Clint Eastwood dives straight in — no fuss, just business. Within five minutes, we learn he's doing a favor for a wealthy friend by picking up his son deep in Mexico. It’s a bit of a stretch and lacks logic. And then, surprise, there's a romance with Clint in the lead. Interestingly, The Mule, made three years earlier with a similar premise, was more entertaining for me. Slow storytelling can be great, but the real issue here might be that annoying Mexican kid who could use a good smackdown.

This seems rather underestimated by others. OK, it has a rather average story and a weird beginning, but then Clint takes things into hand and contemplates about getting old and passing on wisdom to the younger generation. Not such a wow as Grand Torino, but still way above the competition. This old man, oozing with charisma, teaches a kid to ride a horse, pulls a cute housewife and knows how to fight too. In fact, I like this more than I expected. Loser cops... Stupid bastards. If they had a brain, they’d be dangerous.
