4k movies reviews A Beautiful Movie about wisdom, redemption, growing pains and growing old. Clint Eastwood creates a small masterpiece. As Mike (Clint Eastwood) is growing old into his final chapters of life, he mentors the parentally neglected, juvenile thirteen year-old boy, Rafa, who is in need of direction as he is quickly heading down the wrong path.
Mike must "pick up" Rafa from Mexico to deliver the maternally abused tween boy to his father (Dwight Yokum) back in Texas. What ensues is a sublime Road Trip movie crafted with pace and heart. The films subtle beauty shines in the sure, steady directorial hands of the 91 year old Hollywood legend.
Clint Eastwood continues to amaze crafting and acting in three late career classics Gran Torino, The Mule and his latest Cry Macho.
God bless Clint Eastwood and long live Clint Eastwood as he is a true National Treasure.
