Tonight on Netflix: This is the last movie you’ll see Clint Eastwood in

Recently added to the platform, Clint Eastwood’s Cry Macho shot straight into the top 10 most watched movies on Netflix. It must be said that this is the last feature film till date in which the actor-director appears in front of the camera and probably the last film to put him in the lead role.

Because 94-year-old Clint Eastwood filmed and starred in Cry Macho at 91, and that’s probably his acting will. The film follows a fallen rodeo star who is tasked with traveling to Mexico to find a teenager and bring him back to Texas. Except that no one is going to make his life easier: neither the police nor the underworld.

In this thriller, we find the director’s usual dark tone, with a touch of feeling a little more advanced than his previous films in the genre. In this modern western, Eastwood tries to inject more romance and deconstructs the actor’s body, his own body, he doesn’t hesitate to show it as it is at his age, which he still can and doesn’t do anymore.

Macho is crying

This reflection on the wear and tear of the body accompanies the highly twilight aspect of Cry Macho, which sounds like a final trumpet blast in the desert, a farewell to a West we’ll never see again, and perhaps a movie of sorts. which we may not see in the coming years.

After Gran Torino (2008), we were told that Clint Eastwood’s new film is definitely his last. But his testament film that fulfills the legend is definitely Cry Macho. Despite its rather weak script, this film will be without surprises Eastwood’s last feature in front of the camera, and you just have to see him on horseback, with a smile on his lips, starting “are you ok boy”To find out he’s going on fire and it’s his last rodeo.

Netflix subscribers gathered in front of their screens this week to say goodbye, so why not you?
