‘Cry Macho’ Disappointment

It pains me to say this, but Clint Eastwood’s “Cry Macho” is incredibly generic. It also features a terrible performance from teenage actor Eduardo Minett. This is all coming from someone who has loved many of Eastwood’s late-career films; I will defend the virtues of “The Mule,” “Richard Jewell,” and “Sully” to the death. Alas, this latest Eastwood, which is a script he polished from the ‘70s, belongs in the same nadir league as “Paris 15:17” and “Heareafter.”
