    an eastwood curio

    06 December 2008
    This really is quite an odd film. From the start you're aware that something isn't quite right until you realise that it's maybe the first time you've seen Clint Eastwood be anybody other than Clint Eastwood before. He plays a character very closely based on the large-than-life film-maker John Huston and it really is strange to hear even a slightly different voice come out of Eastwood's mouth. In truth, the interest in the film stops there - it's not exactly one of Eastwood's finest directorial outings, and after the initial novelty of his character dies off there's little left to hold your interest. It resembles nothing so much as the kind of Sunday evening drama you'd normally have found on ITV in the mid 90's, making it even stranger to see someone of Eastwood's Hollywood stature cropping up. One for the fans only.
