Director: Clint Eastwood. Cast: Clint Eastwood, Dianne Wiest, Taissa Farmiga, Laurence Fishburne, Bradley Cooper, Michael Peña, Andy Garcia. 116 min. Rated R. Crime/Drama.
In his "last movie" for the nth time, Eastwood tells the true story of a 90-year-old who became a drug cartel mule. Perfectly cast as a clueless but self-assured nonagenarian, Eastwood once again manages to pull it off, and attract our sympathy as a man who has selfishly ignored his family all his life in pursuit of some trivial dream. And of course, there is a fulfilling ending to the story, but again, Eastwood made me wonder what motivated him here to think: I have to make this movie before I die ...
