Clint Eastwood: 5 Awesome Movies And 5 That Sucked

1. Pink Cadillac

This overlong, dull and moronic action-comedy from 1989 teams star Eastwood with his Any Which Way You Can director Buddy Van Horn again, and the results are equally mind numbing. Eastwood plays a bounty hunter, who is deft at disguising himself as different people to catch his prey. He is put on a mission to help find a woman (Bernadette Peters) who is on the lam from her husband and his white supremacist gang. When her husband kidnaps her newborn baby, Eastwood decides he will help her save her baby. While on the road, in her husband's Pink Caddy, he falls for her, and hilarity ensues. Well, no it doesn't. This film, which drags in so many spots it seems like they left nothing on the cutting room floor, has absolutely no bright spots in it. It seems to slug its way through all the typical cliched motions an action-comedy-romance entails. By the end of Pink Cadillac we are dumber for sitting through it, and certainly more upset that we just wasted 2 hours of our lives on this drivel. Eastwood thinks that if he dresses up as a wacky casino manager in disguise he will get automatic laughs, relying on his tough guy image against type, going for the belly laughs. Nothing in this film works, and it once again seems to be featured in a very dark era of lazy, by the numbers Clint Eastwood films from the late 1980's (see pretty much every other Sucked movie on this list). Did we miss an awesome Clint Eastwood movie that's not on this list? Is there another Clint Eastwood movie that sucked more than the 5 we mentioned? If so, drop a comment below.
