Cry Macho 2021

Western flan: soft, no edges, and with an aftertaste of over-sweetened BBQ sauce.

In this tale of an old cowboy who has to get a teenager from Mexico into Texas for a friend, there is no villain, every conflict is resolved easily in under 2 minutes, and there's more of an arc in the relationship between Clint and a rooster than the boy he's befriended.

I honestly believe Clint Eastwood (who once called me a pussy) is trying to do better as regards his far right / pro Trump past, but 1) he doesn't seem capable of making a technically good film without resorting to guy macho ideals and 2) I don't forget or forgive that quickly.
