 Written on November 10, 2006 Summary: No racisim in the Turth Man...so close, yet so far from being dead... Clint is remarkable. I miss his Western films, but I'm also glad that he's showing us a different side of him. A cop trying to save a family man from dying. Throughout the entire film, Clint has his audience wrapped around his finger. Trying to piece together what really happened. It goes to show you that the truth has no boundaries, and desperate times require quick thinking. Clint wanted us to think that the inevitable will happen. But he portrayed his role as a caring citizen willing to risk his job and life in believing something that everyone ruled out...the "real" truth. Small details do make a difference and boy in today's age...people rarely care. Clint couldn't sleep at night knowing what had to be done or at least knowing he "really" tried doing the right thing. If we as people in a civilized society can't get passed what their next door neighbor's skin is, how are we going to survive as morally descent human beings? This film portrayed the true nature of the true crime that almost sent Clint and Isaiah to death...  Written on November 10, 2006 Summary: Ture Crime We are real fans of Clint Eastwood and have all of his Dirty Harry movies, plus some of his newer films. This is a great movie and we have watched it several times and will continue to do so. Written on March 27, 2006 Summary: Suspense thriller--flawed but worth a look. Clint plays a reporter in this film--a womanizer who cannot maintain relationships. However, he is a very good investigative reporter who has a nose for injustice. The story builds suspense throughout as Clint races the clock to save an man unjustly accused from being executed. Clint does his usual good job as an actor. Unfortunately the script is not up to the story line--the dialogue is corny and false. Several of the scenes calculated to be gutsy and comical come off as silly. James Woods chews the scenery. Not Clint's best but worth a look. Written on April 5, 2004 Summary: Clint Is Still Number One Clint Eastwood's 1999 release, True Crime, was based on an Andrew Klavan novel and filmed in a style that reminds me of movies made in the late 70's or 80's. As I watched the first few minutes, my first thought was that poor Clint was to old to portray the part of Steve Everett and this movie had been a waste of money. At first, it actually kind of "creeped me out" watching him come on to the beautiful young women in the movie, but you cannot always judge the movie by your first impressions. Steve Everett is a cheating husband, a horrible father, a recovering alcoholic, and a womanizer, but he is, first and foremost, a newspaper reporter with a "nose" for the truth. His boss, Bob Findley (Denis Leary), assigns him to cover an execution as a human-interest story. Bob has a hard time working with Steve, knowing that Steve has been sleeping with his wife, and struggles to maintain a professional office relationship. Steve has a hunch that Frank Beechum (Isaiah Washington), a black man convicted of the murder of a pregnant white girl, is innocent, but only has one day to come up with evidence before the execution takes place as scheduled. The plot to this movie is predictable and has been done in other movies many times, but Clint Eastwood's skill as a director turns this otherwise "dog" into a suspenseful thrill ride. The performances of Isaiah Washington and Lisa Gay Hamilton are precise and moving. James Woods is hilarious and Francesca Fisher Eastwood, Clint Eastwood's daughter in real life, is adorable. Michael Jeter, Michael McKean, Bernard Hill, and Diane Venora also give great performances and help make True Crime a very good movie that is definitely worth 127 minutes of your time. Oh, and about my first impressions, I was wrong, Clint is not too old for the part or the beautiful young women. Clint is still number one. Written on January 30, 2004 Summary: Eastwood Is The Man Another great Eastwood directed film with terrific performances by everyone in the cast especially (i.e. Isaiah Washington, Lisa Gay Hamilton and James Woods). Eastwood is one of my favorite directors ever. If you are in any way familiar with an old radio show called "Nightbeat" this film is very similiar. This one has a very suspenseful ending. |
