Review

a bit overblown and extended, especially towards the end. it’s hard to make films about something like this because the truth of the subject matter is already seemingly right out of hollywood, that once you put it on screen it’s difficult for it not to appear preachy or sappy. freeman does a good job. eastwood’s son botched the music and eastwood senior should probably let someone else do his music from now on. i know he likes composing his own stuff from time to time and he has good taste in jazz, but i’ve never been in love with the scores from the films he directs.
