Homophobic Trash

Rating: 3/10 (1 September 2004)

Once again Eastwood presents all gay men as sick, twisted perverts. One could understand this if he were making a movie about the Catholic Church...otherwise...and why don't the people at the Gay group who attack gay-friendly directors like Kevin Smith and Paul Verhoeven, go after this 'Hollywood Icon' when what he is presenting is 100 times more damaging to the gay community. But then these are the same people who defend trash like 'Will & Grace' as being positive models. Wake up and smell the coffee!!!
Anyway, aside from that, this film is just highly overrated trash. And Sean Penn should have gotten a Rotten Tomato instead of an Oscar for his performance, which is one of the hammiest bits of overacting I have ever seen. This also has one of the worst film scores I have heard in years, but then it's credited to Eastwood himself, so I shouldn't be surprised.
