"Cry Macho" will follow Eastwood's character, whose best days are behind him. Estranged from his ex-wife and child, he doesn't have much to live for these days, but he soon receives the opportunity of a lifetime from his boss. The task is straightforward: He must bring his employer's child from Mexico back to the United States. The boy lives in an unsafe environment with his alcoholic mother, and his father wants him to be safe under his watchful eye.
As expected, the journey doesn't go according to plan, and surprising developments take place. It's safe to say that if you enjoy the likes of "Gran Torino" and "News of the World," then "Cry Macho" is likely up your alley. Considering anyone with an HBO Max subscription will be able to watch Eastwood's next movie when it comes out in October, you have no excuse for missing it once it's available.
