Old Gringo (1989)
Some GREAT performances- Peck is Inspiring
There is more soul in this film than in 50 'modern' films.
While there is a lot of bad acting, and many other flaws in this movie, there are some GREAT scenes, great dialog, great characters, and great performances. Gregory Peck has some very memorable, outstanding monologues, there are many interesting and complex relationships, and there are no simple resolutions to conflicts.
Again- there are many areas of the film that do not work: doesn't matter, ignore them. There is tremendous depth here, and a lot of value to draw from the good parts of this movie. Peck and Smits are great, and even Fonda has some excellent moments.
They don't make 'em like this any more, and they don't make actors like Peck.
