Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya, Hillary?

Rating: 7/10 (5 March 2005)

I am so amazed at how America is so in love with Clint Eastwood and his films. Mystic River was very good. Actually, far better than this one. But only Unforgiven was a true classic. Now, I know he's old and we think each film might be his last, but please, people, no need to heap praise upon anything he cranks out of a camera.
His performance is measured a craggy. Hillary is good, but not Oscar worthy, unless one gets an award for body morphing. Then, Anna Nicole Smith deserves one, too. All the supporting actors are two dimensional. The script is a patchwork from a book of short stories, and it feels like it. Whose perspective is the film supposed to be? I get two, sometimes three.
Don't get me wrong, there are good moments in the film and the cinematography is wonderful. It's just not the Best Picture of the Year.
