Critic Reviews

  • Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness

    Perhaps the most disposable film Eastwood has ever made.

  • Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)

    Philo Beddoe: Right turn, Clyde. Somehow, the sequel to Clint Eastwood's Orangutan buddy comedy is actually better than the first. There is more fun to be had amidst the continual strange premise of Eastwood playing a mechanic/bare knuckle boxer who rides around with his pal… More

    A pointless but welcome follow up. Left turn Clyde!
