This is a damn good movie! John Malkovich is really scary in this one.

Yeah to this day is scary to think about people that western governments train to expertly carry out operations on their behalf, and if it goes bad they get completely abandoned, then years later there is the chance they come back with all the skills their government trained them in with a sinister motivation of revenge. My guess is there are many of them out there.

[@curtisthomas2670]

John Malkovich is easily one of the most iconic character actor of all time. His ability to totally immerse himself in his characters is uncanny and an utterly beautiful thing.

[@schnarchei6572]

"In the line of fire" was the first movie where Eastwood turned his tough guy image completely on its head. He showed more depth, was vulnerable, even cried. It was the prelude to his most emotional part, the love story "Bridges of Madison County". He directed and played the lead opposite a radiant Meryl Streep. Together they pulled off one of the most unexpected, romantic and touching movies of the 90ies. It was then advertised as "Clint Eastwood's gift to women". That may sound cheesy, but it's true. Bring your sister and two boxes of tissues. You two will love it.

[@aubreyjones2206]

Gran Torino was great

[@laustcawz2089]

A must-see with Clint Eastwood is 1979's "Escape From Alcatraz" (based on a real 1962 escape from the notorious prison). This is where "The Shawshank Redemption" got a lot of its ideas.

[@clevelandbci9562]

Without exaggerating, I probably watched that 20 times with my grandpa as a kid. I totally forgot the woodshop (fingers) scene when I showed it to my kids. My daughter took off running like a bat out of hell🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you want to see a young Clint Eastwood, I recommend his spaghetti westerns (Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good the Bad and the Ugly). If you want to see a REALLY young Clint Eastwood, watch a few episodes of the television series Rawhide.

[@mgaamerica9185]

His son Scott Eastwood looks a lot like a younger Clint.

[@BanyanTree1]

The crazy thing is that Eastwood didn't start making the spaghetti westerns until he was 34. It blows my mind that Dirty Harry was made when he was in his 40s. The man has had more hits after retirement age than most stars in their entire careers.

Rawhide starring Clint Eastwood and Eric Fleming is my favorite western tv show. Clint plays a young cattle drover named Rowdy Yates and Eric Fleming is superb as Gil Favor, Trailboss.

Clint, a complete legend. As he gets older, his films get much more thought provoking. You need to see Gran Tourino.

[@unclerojelio6320]

And “The Outlaw Josey Wales”.

‘Where Eagles Dare’ is a great movie with Clint Eastwood to react to.🦅

[@clydesalley]

Better than this one. Considered one of the best war movies ever. If she wanted to do the Clint Eastwood action route she should have started with Dirty Harry.

[@actuallytheguy8395]

And a fantastic Iron Maiden song.

[@shredd5705]

@@clydesalley Not in my opinion. This is one of my favourite thrillers of all time, that still holds up perfectly. Where Eagles Dare is a silly old war movie with slow pace and crude stunts, "German" soldiers speaking perfect English. Clint barely does any acting. The only memorable scene is the cable car thing. For a "best war movie ever", try Platoon or Apocalypse Now (or Saving Private Ryan, but she saw it already)

[@mrquirky3626]

@@shredd5705 There are two types of 'war movies'. There are the serious looks at the conflict like your Saving Private Ryans and Platoon that make us thankful we didn't have to fight. And then there are the popcorn, fantasy war movies like Where Eagles Dare, Guns of Navarone and Dirty Dozen where you can just relax for a couple of hours and enjoy Nazis getting shot. It's no different than Westerns. Two of my favourite Westerns of all time are Clint's Unforgiven and For a Few Dollars More, but they're completely different movies in tone and seriousness.

[@KBH27]

[@ziggystardog]

“That guy”, John Malkovich, hasn’t played that many villains although he does a great job in this one. ConAir is the first one that comes to mind. He’s a villain in Jenifer 8, but it’s an inferior movie I felt was elevated by him. Empire of the Sun is a Spielberg movie with him in it that I think you’d love. And since you’ve seen Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, you might like Being John Malkovich which has an even crazier plot.

[@crewchief5144]

That John Malkovich performance was pretty much the best villain of the decade. He started out as a stage actor with Gary Sinise in Steppenwolf Theater Company.

[@deanmachine5662]

An amazing thriller along the same lines of this is “The Pelican Brief” with Denzel Washington and Julia Robert’s.

[@hv3926]

The assassin was played by a brilliant actor named John Malkovich who was indeed nominated for an Oscar for that. If you want younger Eastwood go to the Dirty Harry movies. The first two, Dirty Harry and Magnum Force are considered classics. Lots of action.🙂

[@pamosborn1956]

Not only a great actor but a great storyteller when in the directors chair. There is a particular set of scenes where he confesses his sins, his false confession to the priest and his real confession to the boy locked in his basement. Powerful stuff.

[@briannichols4807]

Yes , his character in Gran Torino was crusty , belligerent , and bigoted , but I still liked him a lot more than his family in that movie , especially that granddaughter , who when she was talking to him about his Gran Torino , in a round about way asked him when he was going to die so she could get his car .

So many great movies with Clint Eastwood ( one of my favorite actors ). He is also an amazing director. Mystic River is a great example, but there are many others. Like others have said Clint made his name early in westerns and they are awesome. But his first movie out of the action drama and that he directed as well was " Play Misty For Me ". It's a suspense / thriller and well worth a watch. 😊💜

[@Tr0nzoid]

This was one of the big, anticipated movies of the summer of 1993, when summer movie season had more of an impact. The trailer was attached to movies for a couple of months. It made over 100 million in theaters, which was a definite hit movie for an R-rated thriller. It was perceived as one of the smarter, more adult thrillers. Clint Eastwood was hot again after "Unforgiven" the year before, as well as Rene Russo after "Lethal Weapon 3," and John Malkovich would become more in demand because of this as well. I don't know how several people are regarding it as "underrated" just because it might not be in memes or have five sequels or something. Maybe it has something to do with so many movies and TV series covering the political thriller realm in the last couple of decades. When this movie came out, the Secret Service methods and tactics still had some mystique.

[@mikephotos225]

One of the most accomplished members of the cast was Fred Dalton Thompson, who played Harry. He was a lawyer who served as special counsel to the Watergate committee and as a deputy United States Attorney.

"Dirty Harry" and "Play Misty for me" are both very good, (and "The Eiger sanction" is pretty good) but Clint Eastwood was already a famous star before he made them. It was Eastwood's westerns in the mid and late 1960s that 1st made him a star

(He also made Troy, but few people have perfect track records!) Eastwood is particularly good here; I don't think he was ever better as an actor. This turned out to be a banner year for him, as he picked up two Oscars for Unforgiven, starred in this film and directed/starred in A Perfect World (another great, overlooked movie that I'm sure you'd like).

[@Steve_Blackwood]

True. I stumbled on the opening auction scene when I was in my 20s, and was immediately captivated.

[@karlmoles6530]

The guy that played the President's chief of staff was Fred Dalton Thompson and the reason he plays a Politician so well is he was a United States Senator from Tennessee for many years. He also ran for President in 2008.

[@rjd6214]

Just one of my all time favorite movies. The dynamic between Malcovich and Eastwood is so good. Thanks for reviewing!

[@martinbraun1211]

Please watch "Das Boot"! Also from Wolfgang Petersen.

[@StickFigureStudios]

Gene Siskel once said that a movie is only as good as its villain. Consequently, this movie is fantastic partly because it has a fantastic villain brilliantly played by John Malkovich.

[@jp3813]

Though I'm sure Gene has liked many movies that don't have villains.

[@StickFigureStudios]

@@jp3813 True, but not every movie has (or needs) a villain. If it's the kind of story that requires a villain, he better be a good one because if he's weak, the movie will be too.

[@jp3813]

@@StickFigureStudios Honestly, most of the Indiana Jones movies have pretty weak villains except for Mola Ram, but they're still entertaining apart from the 4th one.

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

32:19 Mark! The irony of esoteric humor there! "Dirty Harry" is one of Clint's more iconic roles! 😅

[@billallen1307]

That Chief of staff later became a real senator from Tennessee.

[@justinsherman9350]

"I wonder what Clint Eastwood looked like young?" So do we all. The moment he was born he snatched a match from the pocket of the doctor about to smack his bottom, sparked it on the stubble of his newborn chin and asked that doctor if he felt lucky while puffing his first cigar.

Great movie. There's also a lot of humor in it. Mel Gibson is fantastic in that one.

[@andrewgrossman4982]

SO excited for this! I’ve been surprised that no one has reacted to it. It is a classic from the ‘90s and Malkovich is just absolutely stellar in it. Can’t wait to watch your reaction! If you like this I also recommend the Jack Ryan movies, especially *Clear and Present Danger* with Harrison Ford but also *Patriot Games* I know you have already seen *The Hunt For Red October* with Alec Baldwin. Keep up the great reactions!

[@quatz1981]

Not only is Clint Eastwood a great actor he's also a great director too. There is so much Clint stuff that are a must see.

[@terrylandess6072]

Once Clint 'left' the western genre he really went everywhere with his productions. Some better than others but all solid enough entertainment. When he returned to his 'roots', there was an overwhelming satisfaction with his effort which won the Oscar. Since then he's continued to be both effective AND efficient.

[@richy3417]

"Inside Man" with Denzel Washington - is my recommendation, thrilling, little scary at times, clever plot twist... Love it!

[@cdickinson9798]

That’s the first good recommendation yet in this thread. You have great taste.

[@frankk600]

Good Choice for Denzel. The Pelican Brief and the Manchurian Candidate are also great choices for thrilling Denzel films.

[@paulhewes7333]

Great early 90's action movie filed with even better one liners: "I know things about pigeons, Lilly." "I'll be thinking about that when I'm pissing on your grave."

29:03 Mark! That taxi cab driver! That seriousness he has had me thinking that he has been waiting for a chance to drive like he's in a police car! Maybe he's had prior experience, too, since he's doing very well! 😊 By the way, the duck hunters don't get any empathy from me. Poor ducks, instead. But the roomies with dog do. Poor them, poor dog. 😢 That hotel is the setting for "It's A Living!" A sitcom about the main restaurant there. It is also the whole of the "City of Atlantis" in "The Fantastic Journey"! It is a 25th-century building in the "City of New Chicago" setting of the first season of "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century"! 😎

[@meanmax9663]

I only subscribed to this channel because of the way you become so fully invested in the plot. When you said "It’s only a movie" to yourself, it cracked me up! In the Line of Fire is one of my favorite movies, and I'm glad to see that you reviewed it. Keep up the good work! 👍

[@scorp77snake]

Such a great film Malkovich and Eastwood at the top of their game in this one. Would also like to add 2 films that you definitely should react too that are in a similar vein The Jackal (1997) and The Day of the Jackal (1973)

[@miker252]

Who would have believed Bruce Willis would make such a believable bad guy. It's like seeing Robin Williams in Insomnia.

[@shainewhite2781]

This was the first Clint Eastwood movie I saw growing up! I remember watching the climax on NBC in 1994/95. A Secret Service Agent on the verge of retiring plays a deadly game of cat and mouse with a former CIA assassin whom plans to shoot the President of the United States during his election campaign

[@foggyh1425]

‘In The Name of The Father’ is a great movie too, I hope you end up watching it someday

[@Jordan808Hawaii]

This is one of my favorite movies of the 90s growing up! SUCH a good movie. It seems like it doesn't get enough recognition and I don't see enough reactors reacting to it! Oh and yeah, John Malkovich was better than Tommy Lee Jones in my opinion as well!

[@quatz1981]

I agree, i mean Tommy Lee Jones is a great actor but there was nothing special about his performance in The Fugitive.

[@cryptodwayne5174]

Eastwoods earliest works would be a TV series called Rawhide. It ran from 1959 to 1965

[@stretch4872]

You say you want to see more like this. If you haven't seen The Bodyguard, you should definitely watch it. Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston with suspense, action, intrigue, great music, and of course for you a love story!

[@markjuarez1791]

John Malkovich was amazing in this film, and I agree that I would put his performance over Tommy Lee Jones' in "The Fugitive". Personally, I believe that Ralph Fiennes should have won for "Schindler's List", but it was a very competitive category that year.

[@joshgellis3292]

Also, Cassie- Eastwood was _25_ in his first acting role on _Allen In Movieland_ ! In ‘65, by the time he was 29, he was in _Rawhide_ . There’s probably nothing earlier of him on film than that. About as young as you can get.

[@dongilleo9743]

Eastwood had an uncredited role in the 1956 movie "Away All Boats" as a Navy corpsman. He's on screen for just a few seconds, and has one line.

[@coyotefever105]

Revenge of the Creature from the Black Lagoon

[@thepatriot6966]

A good film to see Clint Eastwood young? Easy. Paint Your Wagon. It's a musical. Probably not a movie for your channel. But is one of my most favourite flims ever. Stellar cast, and the songs are awsome!

She always wants the hero to get the girl, in paint your wagon they both do.

[@johngraesser4911]

Or you can check out his daughter alison, in a very dark movie not easily watched m.f.a.

[@ncsouthernguy5491]

If you liked John Malkovich in this movie watch Places in the Heart. He is the exact opposite of this character. Sally Field plays the lead along with Danny Glover and Ed Harris. Really good film.

[@zq9m3xh8]

To see him young, see him in Dirty Harry. That was the film that cemented him as a superstar in America for good. His birthday is coming up on the 31st of this month. He will be 92. Maybe you could react to Dirty Harry and post it for his birthday. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!

[@white-noisemaker9554]

Since you liked the performance by John Malkovich, you really need to watch one of his first breakout roles, Places in the Heart, which won an Academy Award for Sally Field. John Malkovich is spectacular in his role in that film. I think you'll really like it.

[@Johnny_Socko]

That was the first thing I saw him in, and even as a teenager I thought, "Wow, this guy is fantastic." It's a beautiful film, and I'm really glad his career took off after that.

[@angelh1743]

If John Malkovich makes you cringe that is just a testament of his great acting abilities. Any actor who can make you cringe or angry at his or her character, has got great acting skills.

[@TheReverendStrange]

Clint Eastwood has been acting since the 1950s. He had a small part (2-scenes) in Revenge of the Creature (From the Black Lagoon) and an even smaller role in Tarantula. In fact, you don't even see his face in that movie because he is playing a fighter pilot. By '58, he was on the TV show Rawhide and by the mid-'60s, Clint finally found stardom on the Big Screen with A Fistful of Dollars. He was already 34-years old by that time.

[@dongilleo9743]

[@kathyhuhn9750]

Such a great movie!

[@matthintz9468]

First of all - thank you for knowing who John Mahoney (Frasier's dad) is!!!. He's been in some great movies in these kinds of "tough guys with hearts of gold" roles. Check him out in Rob Reiner's romantic comedy/political thriller (yes, they do go together in this case) The American President, from 1995. It has an amazing ensemble cast of people you either know, or recognize because they're in everything. Also, one of your countrymen, Michael J. Fox, delivers a performance so good it really is criminal he didn't get a Best Supporting Actor nomination. Second, Eastwood has always looked a little bit on the worn side. It's part of his mystique. Definitely check him out in the Dirty Harry series, especially the original from 1971, and its sequel, Magnum Force, from 1973 - the two strongest entries in the film series. You'll love him. He also did a movie in 2002, very similar to this, called Blood Work. It wasn't as good, but it was better than what critics gave it credit for. It's worth checking out, at least on your time.

[@creativitycell]

"Being John Malkovich" is a genius movie! One of a kind ahead if it's time.👏🙏✌️❤️

@@wraithby Flawless is the right word. No major or even minor ones come to mind for me. I suppose one more scene with the OAS conspirators would have been nice and as perfect as the great Cyril Cusack was as the gunsmith, I wouldn't have minded him in a larger role, say as the minster. Though Alan Badel was certainly fine in that role.

[@davidnagel5795]

I loved this movie for many reasons, but I love the fact that Clint Eastwood allowed his character to grow old and act his age. Too many action stars at 60 pretend like they are still 30. One of the reason I love Jamie Lee Curtis

[@s.jackson8098]

Cassie, here’s the perfect movie for you: ‘Sully’. Eastwood directed it - wonderfully - and it stars Tom Hanks. It’s based on the true story of Chesley Sullenberger, the pilot who saved an entire plane full of passengers when it lost engine power. He made a daring and heroic landing in New York’s Hudson River. The movie has a dramatic recreation of the incident, but it’s mainly about the tough questions Sullenberger faced afterwards - from others and from his own self doubt. He was really haunted by these demons, and that’s very hard to show onscreen. But here it’s painfully vivid, thanks to the outstanding work of Hanks and Eastwood.
