Review

Clint Eastwood plays lothario leading man for the last time, hitting up 20-somethings in bars and having affairs with 30-somethings in motels. He is an investigative journalist who is assigned to write a "routine" death row article, but ends up digging deeper into the case than his editor requested. Clint is certainly fit and trim for a soon-to-be 70-year-old, but he whispers – or rather hisses – all his lines and looks like a walking talking anachronism in the film's turn-of-the-millennium newsroom. Only when the crime storyline takes centre stage and reveals some fine and weighty (albeit predictable and somewhat weary) human drama does the film come alive and Eastwood starts appearing like something resembling his former self. That's Eastwood's own daughter Francesca playing his on-screen child. And her mother Frances Fisher appears in a one-scene cameo as a D.A.
