A good movie

Recently, I have re-watched ‘The Beguiled’ which must be the darkest and weirdest movie starring Clint Eastwood. Well, this movie is another really dark feature with Eastwood and I will probably re-watch it at some point in the future. Basically, it is a rather standard cop feature and many could think it is a just another Dirty Harry installment but it is actually something else. Indeed, it is a really sleazy thriller dealing with the sex industry and, pretty much like in ‘The Beguiled’, Eastwood plays once again a man with a dark side who treats women pretty badly.  So, you get to see some brothels, prostitutes, a SM dominatrix and a gay bar in the process. Obviously, it wasn’t really subtle but still pretty effective and it was interesting to see Clint Eastwood losing his shit as the killer keeps stalking him. In my opinion, Eastwood really took some risks with this flick and there were even some rumors at the time that he might get his first ever Academy Award nomination for this film but it didn’t happen eventually. To conclude, even though I’m usually rather critical about this genre, I thought this flick was pretty good and it is definitely worth a look.
