The Dirty Harry Films / Re: Sudden Impact fails because it removes Harry from SF

« on: April 14, 2018, 12:41:34 PM »

Outside of that quote and the fact it did make money J.C, I never liked the movie. When i saw it originally I have to admit my first thought was " Jeez, Locke is in this movie too?" so my hatred was in full mode, but I just thought the whole movie was ridiculous and it had become a tired act. Go watch 'The Dead Pool' which is even more embarrassing. The movie Eastwood did that should had got more response as far as 80's movies was 'White Hunter Black Heart' which is a great movie. One last point J.C.. Locke I agree is very good in the Gauntlet, but she's mediocre in anything else she did with Eastwood.

 The only thing new with Eastwood is he has an Executive Producer credit for the new movie ' Indian Horse' based on the Richard Wagamese novel coming out this week .

The movie as of today has made $54,780,000 from combined worldwide box office receipts. So in hindsight the movie will break even.......barely...

Coming into the weekend the movie has grossed $35,398.000. Maybe it will make $25,000,000 to break even from a Foreign box office combined for a $60 mill budget........ I doubt it.

I really have no interest in this movie. To be honest, I don't really expect too much anymore from Eastwood's movies. The guy is going to be 88 this year. He's already done a ton of great work and he's The King Of Hollywood. No one has lasted as long as he has.  I think Eastwood just picks films now that appeal to him and if people go and see it fine, It's a bonus. Realistically since Gran Torino with the exception of American Sniper and Sully, (which was ok) none of his movies have been box office hits. To me 15:17 would of been better off as an HBO movie.

  The movie will have to gross at least 60 mill at the Box Office to break even. Can't see it though not impossible.

Changeling, Hereafter and Blood Work were three of Eastwood's weakest movies and bombed at the Box Office. There were legit reasons they got negative reviews.

        I haven't read such bad reviews for an Eastwood movie this profound in maybe 40 years and that was when EWWBLoose was released.

       For what i've read on the Internet most of the reviews have been dismal. Think I'll pass on this movie. BTW, A.O. Scott is a nephew of Eli Wallach.

 Nigel Andrews of The Financial Times  gave the movie a bad review. Pretty much ostracizing the bad acting by the three leads.

IMDb has the movie clocked at 1 hour and 34 minutes. I wasn't too enamored with the trailer. Personally, If the movie gets good reviews I'll see it.

      I always found Eastwood's movies inspirational and motivating as well, especially his scenes with Jo Ann Harris in The Beguiled.
