Query: Top Acting by Hero and Villain; fine supporting cast

Somewhere along the line, the TV Cowboy and Spaghetti Western Tough Guy, became Actor and Director, Clint Eastwood. Now at 3 days younger than I, he is one of the relatively very few Hollywood figures who can claim a body of work, before and behind the camera, which justifies membership in the Entertainment Business Elite.This is a film which allows him to be tough and tender but never overblown or sentimental. The matching with Malkovich, who also turns in a first class performance, provides a dialectic of qualities which energize the production. The interaction with Rene Russo, humanizes his character, with a minimum of romantic moments. There are a few static and stereotyped characters, but, for the most part, the few important supporting roles are strongly performed.Not the best film of its type ever made, but, a very good one.
