Overall agree “Cry Macho” is not great but good.

Sonny needs to articulate why the scene that ruined the movie for him doesn’t work. Does Sonny doubt any man would reject the advances of a rich sexy younger woman? Does Sonny doubt a rich, sexy younger woman would throw herself at a man as old as Eastwood? Allysa’s explanation of the scene (Mike takes a hard pass on crazy) is spot on & it says more about Fernanda Urrejola’s performance failing to sell Leta’s crazy to Sonny than it does Eastwood’s performance of as an old man with character. Or maybe it says something about Sonny’s exposure to men of character.

Also, I’d pick 90 year old Eastwood over Sonny for my side in a bar fight. He landed that punch!

Eastwood throwing that punch looked like De Niro trying to land that curb stomp in THE IRISHMAN. Not believable!
