I'll try not to repeat other posters said, except maybe to add my disgust at the idea of a woman of 30 wanting to bed 90 y/o geezer. Unless she has some really serious issues.
This film is a train wreck. Don't get me wrong. I always liked Eastwood. And yes, he has some pretty good films in his resume. BUT. The Clint I love is the un-pc guy who kicks @$$, doesn't hesitate to use his gun, and tells punks to 'make his day.'
Though no Harry Callahan, I was not offended by the Pardner. He was ok. Frank Horrigan was a bit over the hill, but still ok. I hated CE's role in Bridges of Someplace or Other (and the addition of homely, hausfrau-y Meryl Streep, whom I intensely dislike, didn't make things better). But now I have to endure Clint Eastwood as a male Norma Desmond?! At least Norma was 50, not 90.
Clint, darling, you were once cute, young and sexy. Now you're old. Really old. Nothing wrong with old age per se and nice work for reaching 91 in relatively good health (though I wouldn't swear by your mental health). But remember the old saying, no bigger fool than an old fool. It's time to bow out and retire with dignity.
We love you, man. But let it go. Leave us with good memories of Rowdy Yates, Dirty Harry and Luther Whitney. Don't force us to remember you as the Joe Biden of Hollywood.
