Alec B Love that Eastwood isn't even really trying to disappear into the role, which only serves to heighten the comparisons between him and Huston. Also, its no wonder it was mostly ignored upon release, general audiences would find it boring while critics and industry people were no doubt put off by the fact that this movie isn't even about the making of "The African Queen" Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Eye C Interesting, although a little slow. Eastwood is great in this kind of jerk. kind of great character, but I think is worth it watching. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Les N Yeah, struggling to stay relevant. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Over 30 years old serving as a good meditation on masculinity as well as artist’s’ insecurities. Directed by and starring Clint Eastwood as filmmaker John Wilson. Set during the 1950s in Zimbabwe he’s eager to get his next project underway. However John is more fascinated by an elephant than the actual filmmaking itself. A native hunter he comes across helps him in his journey. Yet as time goes by he starts to question the morals and ethics of his job. The costs of production rise up with John not entirely focused on the real reason he’s on location. I love Eastwood, the African scenery is lush and beautiful, they do look at a more tough exterior of the industry, and I gotta say the ending is quite somber showing how much a passion for something else can interfere with the task at hand. Very good even if it wraps up on a defeating note. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/15/23 Full Review r 9 An interesting 1990 film, is 'White Hunter, Black Heart'. The lead character of John Wilson, portrayed by Clint Eastwood, is an intriguing fellow and the story he stars in is all very watchable. Jeff Fahey is also very good alongside Eastwood, his character is very much the moral compass of the film. The support cast, which notably includes one Timothy Spall, are all solid. The look of the film is pleasant, with some lovely visuals of the locations used, and it is paced nicely. There is also a cracker of a last line. I didn't love this film and don't think it's perfect, but that's not to take away from the fact that I found it be a really enjoyable watch.
