Most helpful review White Hunter, Black Heart

  • Good but not great

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By Simon from London, England , 04 Aug 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Not as good as Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby or even Mystic River but it does have a good central performance from Clint and a strong performance by Jeff Fahey. It's let down a bit by a downbeat ending but for any fan of Clint it's well worth a watch.

  • Eastwood as director and star

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer from Norfolk, England , 20 Nov 2008
    Analysis of John Huston's making of The African Queen. The story, adapted from the novel by Peter Viertel (who also wrote the Screenplay for The African Queen), allows Eastwood plenty of elbow room to fully indulge himself in a take on Huston's idiosyncratic method of film production (and speech) and the result is hugely enjoyable - a good one for film buffs - although a strangely, rather neglected movie. Maybe Eastwood fans were expecting something different.

    If your looking for an action packed movie then this is not the one. It's a pretty deep film which you have to watch if your in the mood.

  • Interesting portrayal of John Huston

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer from Sion Mills, Co. Tyrone , 03 Nov 2006
    Clint Eastwood does John Huston to a tee - the walk, the talk - everything. You would swear you are looking at the man himself. Interesting movie about the eccentricities and self-mindedness of Mr. Huston. It is also interesting to see the background of making The African Queen. I always enjoy watching this movie.

  • An interesting slant on a piece of cinema history

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By a customer from Hampshire , 07 Mar 2006
    The `great` John Huston, seen through the eyes of a novelist, relating a true story about the eccentricities of this Hollywood legend. Clint Eastwood, as always, does a highly competent job of portraying the vagaries of this clearly unusual man. The era and names have been changed to, presumably, avoid a row with the surviving relatives, but Katherine Hepburn et al are unmistakeable.
