Even tho Clint Eastwood is my childhood hero, a true legend and the embodiment of masculinity himself, I felt a bit dissapointed with his new films because even though I love their stories, I felt them too sterile most of all at the technical aspects on it, Mule was a huge dissapointment in that sense and he recovered with Richard Jewell but I still needed a new Eastwood movie to shock me, and this is it.
Let´s put the bad things first, the movie has 0% conflict, it has suspense but almost every conflict that both Mike and Rafo encounter during their journey ends too easily and I think that in a normal movie that would suck, but this isn´t the case...
This ain´t a typical neo-western, it looks like one but is more of a charming, kind hearted film, where the main focus is not the "plot" but the experiences, the contact between Mike and Rafo and also the redemption of Mike seeking a new love, a new life to finally be in peace, this is truly one of the most heart-warming Eastwood movies, it doesn´t needs the conflict it just exists and is true to Eastwood spirit, now 90 years old, he is still shining like always and he´ll shine forever and ever.
