This is an old-fashioned movie done with wit, grace, smarts and style. [19 March 1999, Friday, p.A]

Eastwood has never seemed less the persona he has built through the decades, the calm yet commanding center of a storm.

Eastwood himself, pushing 70 but cruising women in their early 20s, counts on more goodwill than I can muster. I wasn't bored, but my suspension of disbelief collapsed well before the end.
