Uncomfortable Watching Clint Woo Young Women
True Crime (1999)
Plot In A Paragraph: An alcoholic journalist (Eastwood) tries to uncover the evidence that can prove a death row inmate's innocence just hours before his execution?
I always enjoy this movie when I watch it, but it's not one I rewatch often. It was a little uncomfortable seeing Clint hit on all the young women (watching a 69 year old man kissing a 24 year old girl was just cringe worthy) and his acting (usually above reproach) is unusually off at times!! Especially the scene when he finds out the reporter died.
Isiah Washington is great, as is Lisa Gray Hamilton, Dennis Leary is good and James Woods is his usual brilliant self. I forgot Michael Jeter (whom I adore) was in it, I didn't remember Lucy Lui was in this either.
The movie was a failure at the box-office grossing only $16 million (less than half of its production cost) making it Clint Eastwood's second worst performing picture of the 1990s after White Hunter Black Heart (1990). It ended 1997 as the 94th highest grossing movie of the year.
