The best movie bei Wolfgang Petersen is "Das Boot". One of the best anti-war movies ever made. So probably not for this channel, but maybe for the other one. Definitely worth watching (be sure to watch one of the longer versions, not the theatrical cut).
I watch this movie about 3 times a year. Amongst other Eastwood gems. The mans work is extremely compelling and his character roles remind me so much of relatives that have come and gone in my live. Great men.
I love the phone conversations between Malkovich and Eastwood. So well written and delivered. The answering machine message beyond the grave was a cherry on top
The Secret Service was founded as part of the Treasury Department in the 19th century. They later took on responsibility for presidential security. *** A great assassination themed thriller is Day of the Jackal (1973).
Yes, most people didn't know that the Secret Service's main responsibility was investigating financial crime and counterfeiting. Today they fall under DHS.
Such a brilliant reaction. I love how you always instantly recognize the actors and those drop-ins from Office Space, Frasier, etc… It’s like we’re seeing your thoughts. 🙌🏼
I have always loved my annoying other half from the very first time she glanced back after treating her to a cup of coffee and seeing her smile when this was included in this movie. Great reaction Coby
@@criminalcontent And in the military you learn to disassemble and assemble every gun you use blindly and fast. So it shouldn't be a problem for him to do it under the table. Also please watch Absolute Power, another excellent Clint Eastwood movie
The music score for this film was done by the great Ennio Morricone. He wrote the film scores to the famous Clint Eastwood "spaghetti westerns" of the 60s to include THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE UGLY.
A very underrated Eastwood movie. One of my favs of his. Thank you, Coby, for reacting to it! You are great, as always for bringing these gems to peoples' attention! ❤😂🎉😊❤🎉
I've seen every Clint Eastwood movie since I was a kid in his Spaghetti Western days. This one has become my Favorite of them all I guess because I'm Old and Retired now too like him.
Wolfgang Petersen came to fame by directing the highly acclaimed "Das Boot" (1981); one of the best submarine movies ever made! After that the doors to Hollywood were open to him! 🙂
Thanks for the reaction! Haven't seen it in a while...it still Rocks! Thanks to our man in Hollywood,Mr. Wolfgang Petersen,who's directed this Masterpiece! You are surely missed, Wolfgang (RIP)!!! Greetings from Stuttgart, Germany!
If you would like to see an "approximate" measure of John Malkovich's brilliance do watch Stephen Frears' 1988 masterful "Dangerous Liasons", also with Glenn Close, Michelle Pfeiffer and the impossibly young Uma Thurman and Keanu Reeves, it is not possible to see it just the once. Malkovich is absolutely delightful as a person, quirky and fascinating, makes you feel you could listen to him forever.
Great performances. Really nice reaction too Coby. The Secret Service does do other things. In fact theey were initially formed to combat counterfeitting, and I believe they are (or for a long time were) a part of the Treasury Dept. Malkovich is amazing. Don't know if you saw it but he was hysterical in Red. He also was strong in a very small part in the movie Rounders. Coby, don't know if you have seen The Sting with Paul Newman and Robert Redford and so many fine actors, but it is a really entertaining movie too. Stay safe and well!!
Looking forward to this! It sometimes seems like this is a somewhat forgotten film from the 90s, but it’s a near-masterpiece on the back of Malkovich’s truly remarkable performance.
He was also the VP of the toy company that didn't like the Tom Hanks character in the comedy film "Big" (1988). John Heard was also John Pierce in the film "Beaches" (1988) and he was also in the film "Radio Flyer" (1992). All told he had 182 acting credits to his name before he died in 2017.
"I thought the Secret Service just protected the president." They're agents of the US Department of the Treasury. While, ironically, their most visible role is the protection and investigation of threats against the safety of the current and former presidents, vice president and their families, as well as candidates/nominees for those positions and their spouses, they also protect foreign heads of state and their families while visiting, plus events designated as in need for special security by the Secretary of Homeland Security. On top of that, they are the enforcement arm of the Department of the Treasury. They investigate activities such as counterfeiting and cybercrime.
This was the very first Clint Eastwood movie I saw on NBC back in 1995. I was 5 years old! John Malkovich was nominated for Best Supporting Actor but didn't win. It was even the first movie trailer to premiere on the Internet in 1993, where it was downloaded 170 times for a week and a half!
Oh, Corby, when you got so upset when Clint took that bullet your reaction really got to me. Well done, glad you had such a good time. :) Like others have said, If Clint's name is attached to a movie, you can be pretty certain it will be good. The Eiger Sanction, is a very enjoyable film, mountaineering espionage thriller, fantastic vertigo inducing photography. And quite a tragic but interesting behind the scenes story. I think Corby would really enjoy it, I'd love to see her reaction to it one day.
I've always loved this one. I must say, you've got the sweetest smile I have ever seen! Very smart as well! I enjoyed re-watching thru your eyes! Great reaction!
Lovely reaction! I had no idea this movie was still roaming around as interesting, but I am well pleased. I loved the film when it came out, and rewatching it a few months ago, I found myself still enamored with it. It reminds me of the best parts of The Day of the Jackal (the original), with a new and modern take (not to mention location and background). Not that I like it as much, and it is entirely different, but you might like "Bridges of Madison County", and it is quite a different movie which might show you that he has depth too.
Fantastic film. A high quality character driven thriller with an exceptional cast. This was a major blockbuster in summer 1993 and is right up there with my fave Clint movies. So good.
Great movie, was tempted to put a note up pre show but decided not, but famously the rooftop chase scene was actually filmed in multiple different cities but seamlessly link together. Still a massive Clint fan with a big soft spot for Where Eagles Dare, Clint and Richard Burton what’s not to love
Great reaction to a great movie! Clint is an icon as both an Actor and Director. Of all the oldies, westerns and Dirty Harry stuff are a must see. But one that showcases his Directorial talent is "Sully" about the Miracle on the Hudson, starring Tom Hanks. A true story, which Eastwood handles very well as Director.
Amazing film. Thanks for the review. I saw it in the theater back in the day and it's still one of my faves. Highly underrated IMO. FYI, The Nick of Time was filmed in the same hotel as the final act of this film (the Bonaventure is a nice hotel and iconic due to several films).
Coby is by FAR, the smartest, most intelligent female reactor on YT. She catches all the small details and important pieces that most girls are completely clueless about and completely miss. And it don't hurt that she's an incredibly beautiful woman!
Wolfgang Petersen is originally from Germany. In addition to this 1993 film, he has directed movies as widely varying as Das Boot (1981, in German), The Neverending Story (1984), Air Force One (1997), and The Perfect Storm (2000).
Fred Thompson....what a great actor in every movie! Also congressman in the 70s and 80s, senator in 90s and 2000s, and should have been president, but Romney and McCain tag teamed him, and Obama became president.😭😭😭😭 Because a Fred presidency would have been badass!
My favorite song on the soundtrack for this movie is Herman Hupfeld as time goes by. Watching this on laser disc in 1993 was a bit better than the normal VHS version of the movie.
Wolfgang Petersen also directed "Shattered" two years before this movie. That is a terrific suspense thriller starring Tom Berenger and Bob Hoskins. That is definitely something you would like. He also directed "Air Force One" with Harrison Ford in 1997.
Shattered still has the lowest movie profile, highest WTF rug-pull of all time in a Who Done It murder mystery thriller. It's an uneven film that's taken from a thin pot boiler novel with an exceptional million dollar plot twist. The film adaptation's screenplay didn't quite solve the central key creative issue when translating book to screen of this particular big secret reveal the whole story hinges on and reality is the whole 90 minute runtime is running in place delayed gratification because the entire premise is the twist so the whole middle section of the movie is padded and doesn't move the plot forward which even a great director like Wolfgang Peterson can only do so much to keep things interesting, and the film looks stunning and visually breathtaking, but is dull without forward plot propulsion. It's a testament to the power of that twist that it's so Earth shatteringly mind blowing, it stays with you long after you've seen the movie. One shot Inparticular. THEE shot. It's the reveal moment and it's up there with the reveal of Rosebud in Citizen Kane and last image table turn fake out moment to end the original Planet Of The Apes. But, this gangbuster cracker jack of a mind f*ck is unfortunately inside what looks like all these decades later, the best directed and shot Academy Award winning looking 90's cable TV movie of the month on Skinamax.
Love this film and your reaction to it was amazing. I'm another one who saw this at the cinema and still remember being blown away by it. You said you've seen all of his more recent films? Does that include "The Mule"? I think you'll love it if you haven't seen it.
One of my favorite Eastwood movies! Wolfgang Peterson directed this one. I love John Mahoney. Two other movies that he's in that I like are Frantic with Harrison Ford (1988) and The Russia House with Sean Connery, Michelle Pfeiffer and Roy Scheider (1990). Another Clint Eastwood movie I enjoy is the 1971 psychological thriller Play Misty For Me. Great reaction!
Nice reaction - this film is an interesting dialogue between the idealism of the 60s and the cynicism of the 90s - a number of 90s films showcased weary specialists who've lost their sense of purpose, and fall back on empty professionalism as a shield against nihilism - also see Ronin and Heat - I agree I wish they'd made more of Frank blaming himself for Dylan - Malkovich has that rare Brando quality where he can pull the film's pov towards himself, almost rewriting it - other great roles of his include True West, Dangerous Liaisons, Glass Menagerie, Death of a Salesman, Time Regained - favorite Eastwood films include Bridges of Madison County and Mystic River - favorite Petersen films include Troy and Air Force One
1:01:43 Il vous faut absolument voir, si ce n'est déjà fait, "Play Misty for me" (1971), produit, interprété et réalisé par Clint. Un thriller haletant sur fond de Jazz. Pur chef-d'oeuvre. Inratable.
It was great seeing a documentary video on the way they did the special effects for this movie, and also how the viewer could see insights into the Secret Service for the first time on this movie because they used a retired agent as a technical advisor
Great reaction, as always, Coby! Fantastic movie and glad it is in your library now! Your reaction to Bum/hippy Malkovitch made me laugh aloud and think a ref! In that scene when he runs...I swear he is the model for Joe Dirt many moons later 😄
5:15 A lot of people don't realize that the USSS was actually originally founded in 1865 to combat counterfeiting. At the time, about a third of US currency in circulation was believed to be counterfeit; Uncle Sam don't play that shit, so a commission was established (signed into law by Lincoln hours before he was assassinated, coincidentally) to figure out what to do to police & suppress counterfeiting. As a result of that commission's findings, the USSS was founded in July of 1865. Presidential Protection Details didn't come along until after William McKinley was assassinated in 1901.
We would also enjoy a little bit more of why you loved the movie. What it was about the characters, the dialogue, the plot, the twists, a little more detail on your experience watching it. Thank you, keep up the reactions coming!
Such an excellent film and with such great actors in it too. I wish they made more of these films nowadays. Glad you enjoyed it and if you like the tense kind of dramas and thrillers, please watch A Few Good Men. Its amazing ! Simon ( fron Wales) xx
Wow! Nick of Time. Love that movie but i've never heard anyone reference it before. No one ever seems to have seen it when i talk about it. I'm well impressed Coby. Looking forward to the next reaction. 😉
This was one of the big hits of the summer of 1993, and yes, making $100 million was a big hit for just about any movie then, especially an adult-oriented crime thriller giving a look at an agency we didn't see in many movies. Now, this kind of thing is in every other TV series. I can't evaluate how some see it as "forgotten" or "obscure" or whatever now to younger people but then, it was heavily marketed and one of the top anticipated movies that summer. Rene Russo was coming off her popular role in "Lethal Weapon 3" the year before and it was Eastwood's first movie after "Unforgiven."
Just FYI: The US Secret Service was a branch of the Treasury Department. In 2003 they became part of Homeland Security. Their prime function is enforcing monetary law (counterfeiting, etc.). In1901 they were assigned the added duty of protecting the President, his family, former presidents, presidential candidates, and other dignitaries.
Another great (but very different) Dylan McDermott movie is Home for the Holidays (1995). It’s set during Thanksgiving but it’s great anytime of year. The cast is a fantastic ensemble, also having Holly Hunter and Robert Downy Jr. Lots of awkward and twisted humor. And it’s directed by Jodie Foster.
Eastwood's character is loosely based on Clint Hill, an agent who was there at the Kennedy assassination and is still alive today. He didn't talk about the events of that day for years until a reporter (now his wife) convinced him to tell his story. He's now written a couple of books about the events of that day. He's had some great conversations with Mike Rowe on the latter's podcast over the last several years, including the last one in November 2023 marking the 60th anniversary of the event.
51:57 Pour la petite info, à cette époque, la plupart des pays avaient des téléphones à touches sur lesquelles il y avait des chiffres mais aussi des lettres. Comme il n'y a que dix chiffres et vingt-six lettres, il y avait deux ou trois lettres par touche. Par exemple le 1 affichait aussi les trois premières lettres de l'alphabet, et ainsi de suite jusqu'à z. On pouvait donc écrire des mots à la place des chiffres, et personnaliser le numéro, comme ici, "skellum".
Wolfgang Petersen was an incredibly underrated director, I always thought, sadly passed away just under a few years ago now. Directed "Das Boot" and "The Perfect Storm", among others. Always thought he should have done more projects but appreciate the legacy he left behind. I'm sure I recall reading somewhere that Petersen thought this was the best screenplay he'd ever read, which I thought was very telling. The script was also passed around Hollywood for about 10 years before it was finally sold for about a million dollars, give or take, depending on where you read. The scene where Eastwood recalls the assassination at night was slightly improvised in a way, according to what I've read, as Petersen asked Rene Russo to hold his hand right at that moment which Eastwood wasn't expecting, and apparently the tears were genuine because of that. Overall, It turned out incredibly well and I think Malkovich is an actor who should be utilized more in a way too, always turns in interesting stuff. I think this was his shining moment as an actor although hopefully, he'll do something else equally as memorable sometime in the future. Great reaction to a film with great atmosphere, performances, and pacing.
This is a great movie. Haven't seen it in years though, so it was nice to rewatch it with Coby. A similar movie I think you'll like starring Bruce Willis and Richard Gere is "The Jackal". Another more light hearted one to watch is "The Saint" with Val Kilmer and Elisabeth Shue.
The fact that Coby has watched Absolute Power but not In The Line of Fire is shocking. Absolute Power is a much much lesser known movie. In The Line of Fire is one of his best movies.
Peterson is a master director. One of the top 100 films u could ever watch is Das Boot, in German with English subtitles. And the serious mind bender, Shattered! A crime thriller!
😂 it made me laugh as I sat and re-watched The Longest Day that was on TV last weekend. I hadn’t seen it in years and it sprung into my head that CC would be having kittens (British expression) spotting the number of faces in that
@@PaulForeman-indievisuals it's reached a point where we literally don't tell her the film until 2 minutes before she shows up -no ability to look it up - we just watch her try to recognize people and have drinking game of who she gets right lol
I have always been surprised that Rene Russo didn't have a bigger career - she is gorgeous, funny and convincing in action roles (for example in the Lethal Weapon movies). She's a great counterpoint to Clint in this and she's also excellent in the modern version of The Thomas Crown Affair (with Pierce Brosnan), a very slick and fun heist movie.
Ine of the big reasons she didnt have a bigger career is becuz she didnt start acting until she was 34-35yrs old. Before that she was a model... She had a pretty successful acting career for how late she started...
Your early 90s movie affection is well warranted. It seems that the beginning of each decade fosters some of the best art...At least as I have observed....

If you would like to see an "approximate" measure of John Malkovich's brilliance do watch Stephen Frears' 1988 masterful "Dangerous Liasons", also with Glenn Close, Michelle Pfeiffer and the impossibly young Uma Thurman and Keanu Reeves, it is not possible to see it just the once. Malkovich is absolutely delightful as a person, quirky and fascinating, makes you feel you could listen to him forever.

I've loved Malkovich since his 1982 role in 'Death of a Salesman' I've got to say this ranks among his best roles.
Looking forward to this! It sometimes seems like this is a somewhat forgotten film from the 90s, but it’s a near-masterpiece on the back of Malkovich’s truly remarkable performance.
very very forgotten, surprisingly so - not many reactions to it

Nice reaction - this film is an interesting dialogue between the idealism of the 60s and the cynicism of the 90s - a number of 90s films showcased weary specialists who've lost their sense of purpose, and fall back on empty professionalism as a shield against nihilism - also see Ronin and Heat - I agree I wish they'd made more of Frank blaming himself for Dylan - Malkovich has that rare Brando quality where he can pull the film's pov towards himself, almost rewriting it - other great roles of his include True West, Dangerous Liaisons, Glass Menagerie, Death of a Salesman, Time Regained - favorite Eastwood films include Bridges of Madison County and Mystic River - favorite Petersen films include Troy and Air Force One
1:01:43 Il vous faut absolument voir, si ce n'est déjà fait, "Play Misty for me" (1971), produit, interprété et réalisé par Clint. Un thriller haletant sur fond de Jazz. Pur chef-d'oeuvre. Inratable.
It was great seeing a documentary video on the way they did the special effects for this movie, and also how the viewer could see insights into the Secret Service for the first time on this movie because they used a retired agent as a technical advisor
Great reaction, as always, Coby!
Fantastic movie and glad it is in your library now!
Your reaction to Bum/hippy Malkovitch made me laugh aloud and think a ref! In that scene when he runs...I swear he is the model for Joe Dirt many moons later 😄
One of my favourite films, reviewed by one of my favourite reviewers.
Always good value, thank you so much.
thank you !
I was staying in the hotel where and when they filmed the final showdown. It was a fun experience for pre-teen me
5:15 A lot of people don't realize that the USSS was actually originally founded in 1865 to combat counterfeiting. At the time, about a third of US currency in circulation was believed to be counterfeit; Uncle Sam don't play that shit, so a commission was established (signed into law by Lincoln hours before he was assassinated, coincidentally) to figure out what to do to police & suppress counterfeiting. As a result of that commission's findings, the USSS was founded in July of 1865.
Presidential Protection Details didn't come along until after William McKinley was assassinated in 1901.
Wolfgang directed Das Boot. About a German U-boat crew in WWII. If you thought this was rough to watch Das Boot is tough but incredible.
We would also enjoy a little bit more of why you loved the movie. What it was about the characters, the dialogue, the plot, the twists, a little more detail on your experience watching it. Thank you, keep up the reactions coming!
Such an excellent film and with such great actors in it too.
I wish they made more of these films nowadays.
Glad you enjoyed it and if you like the tense kind of dramas and thrillers, please watch A Few Good Men. Its amazing !

Cool channel. There's almost no trace of your accent. Keep up the great work!
Wow! Nick of Time. Love that movie but i've never heard anyone reference it before. No one ever seems to have seen it when i talk about it. I'm well impressed Coby. Looking forward to the next reaction. 😉
Was about to go to bed and saw you were reacting to this. Sleep is for the weak, it was worth it. Night.
39:29 Oscar Worth performance by John Malkovich love this whole telephone call scene gives you chills
This was one of the big hits of the summer of 1993, and yes, making $100 million was a big hit for just about any movie then, especially an adult-oriented crime thriller giving a look at an agency we didn't see in many movies. Now, this kind of thing is in every other TV series. I can't evaluate how some see it as "forgotten" or "obscure" or whatever now to younger people but then, it was heavily marketed and one of the top anticipated movies that summer. Rene Russo was coming off her popular role in "Lethal Weapon 3" the year before and it was Eastwood's first movie after "Unforgiven."
Wolfgang Petersen directed Air Force One and The Perfect Storm. He also directed the German film, the submarine epic, Das Boot.
The lady landlord also had a part on the TV show, Wiseguy with Ken Wahl
Coby needs to get in touch with Dylan for a guest role on "FBI - Most Wanted".
criminally good Clint:
"The Eiger Sanction" (1975)
"Dirty Harry" (1971) & 4 sequels
"Tightrope" (1984)
Such a good movie, and your reaction was awesome as always. *high-fives*
Thank you!! 😁
Leary: "You want to save me Frank?"
Frank: "To be honest and fair with you; no."
Favorite line in the movie.
Clint was 62-63 in this film. Clint stayed in shape, and did a lot of running in private life, and on film.
IIRC, he was also famous for running with his dogs (dobermans?) and popping tennis balls in his bare hands.
I just noticed your E.T. coffee mug! Love it!
Just FYI: The US Secret Service was a branch of the Treasury Department. In 2003 they became part of Homeland Security. Their prime function is enforcing monetary law (counterfeiting, etc.). In1901 they were assigned the added duty of protecting the President, his family, former presidents, presidential candidates, and other dignitaries.
"Every Which Way But Loose" and "Any Which Way You Can" are old school Eastwood classics that I highly recommend you watch, if you haven't already.
Another great (but very different) Dylan McDermott movie is Home for the Holidays (1995). It’s set during Thanksgiving but it’s great anytime of year. The cast is a fantastic ensemble, also having Holly Hunter and Robert Downy Jr. Lots of awkward and twisted humor. And it’s directed by Jodie Foster.
Eastwood's character is loosely based on Clint Hill, an agent who was there at the Kennedy assassination and is still alive today. He didn't talk about the events of that day for years until a reporter (now his wife) convinced him to tell his story. He's now written a couple of books about the events of that day. He's had some great conversations with Mike Rowe on the latter's podcast over the last several years, including the last one in November 2023 marking the 60th anniversary of the event.
Fred Dalton Thompson also starred on Law and Order, and was very familiar with the law. He was a senator.
51:57 Pour la petite info, à cette époque, la plupart des pays avaient des téléphones à touches sur lesquelles il y avait des chiffres mais aussi des lettres. Comme il n'y a que dix chiffres et vingt-six lettres, il y avait deux ou trois lettres par touche. Par exemple le 1 affichait aussi les trois premières lettres de l'alphabet, et ainsi de suite jusqu'à z. On pouvait donc écrire des mots à la place des chiffres, et personnaliser le numéro, comme ici, "skellum".
Wolfgang Petersen was an incredibly underrated director, I always thought, sadly passed away just under a few years ago now. Directed "Das Boot" and "The Perfect Storm", among others. Always thought he should have done more projects but appreciate the legacy he left behind.
I'm sure I recall reading somewhere that Petersen thought this was the best screenplay he'd ever read, which I thought was very telling. The script was also passed around Hollywood for about 10 years before it was finally sold for about a million dollars, give or take, depending on where you read.
The scene where Eastwood recalls the assassination at night was slightly improvised in a way, according to what I've read, as Petersen asked Rene Russo to hold his hand right at that moment which Eastwood wasn't expecting, and apparently the tears were genuine because of that.
Overall, It turned out incredibly well and I think Malkovich is an actor who should be utilized more in a way too, always turns in interesting stuff. I think this was his shining moment as an actor although hopefully, he'll do something else equally as memorable sometime in the future.
Great reaction to a film with great atmosphere, performances, and pacing.
This is a great movie. Haven't seen it in years though, so it was nice to rewatch it with Coby. A similar movie I think you'll like starring Bruce Willis and Richard Gere is "The Jackal". Another more light hearted one to watch is "The Saint" with Val Kilmer and Elisabeth Shue.
The fact that Coby has watched Absolute Power but not In The Line of Fire is shocking. Absolute Power is a much much lesser known movie. In The Line of Fire is one of his best movies.
Best acting scene involving 2 actors talking to each other on the phone ever! (at 1:02:55)
This is definitely one of the greatest films. I don't see it on any reactor's radars.
I would give this movie 88 points out of 100
Thanks, Coby!!! Another AMAZZZZZZZING reaction.
You're the best!
At the time this movie was released Clint Eastwood was 63 and Rene Russo was 39, if anyone was wondering like I was.
Underrated film IMO.
Hi Coby, love your reaction to this movie. Hope your keeping well, take care👍.
Thank you !
You’re most welcome😎. You have a lovely day👍.
The sad fact is there are people like John Malkovich's character Mitch Leary. Who have been used to do our government's dirty work all over the world.
Peterson is a master director. One of the top 100 films u could ever watch is Das Boot, in German with English subtitles. And the serious mind bender, Shattered! A crime thriller!
Coby knows and recognise actors, most of youtubers have no idea about cast when they react to any movie. That makes this a better channel
we try!
😂 it made me laugh as I sat and re-watched The Longest Day that was on TV last weekend. I hadn’t seen it in years and it sprung into my head that CC would be having kittens (British expression) spotting the number of faces in that
@@PaulForeman-indievisuals it's reached a point where we literally don't tell her the film until 2 minutes before she shows up -no ability to look it up - we just watch her try to recognize people and have drinking game of who she gets right lol
@@criminalcontent Road house 1989
I have always been surprised that Rene Russo didn't have a bigger career - she is gorgeous, funny and convincing in action roles (for example in the Lethal Weapon movies). She's a great counterpoint to Clint in this and she's also excellent in the modern version of The Thomas Crown Affair (with Pierce Brosnan), a very slick and fun heist movie.
Ine of the big reasons she didnt have a bigger career is becuz she didnt start acting until she was 34-35yrs old. Before that she was a model...
She had a pretty successful acting career for how late she started...
54:10 Oui mais on l'a vu répéter ce geste plus tôt dans le film, les yeux fermés pour s'entraîner ;)
Your early 90s movie affection is well warranted. It seems that the beginning of each decade fosters some of the best art...At least as I have observed....
You were asking about Eastwood's and Russo's ages at various times in the reaction. He was about 63 and she was about 39 when the film was released.
Coby is reacting to many great movies! Excellent job!
it's from you guys! the subs and fans comments, mixed with what we think she'll love - but mostly we try to be quality movie channel with the best recommendations going through
@@criminalcontent the early spaghetti westerns you will love FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE and THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. They all have two release dates one being Italian the other American. Then Dirty Harry series starts in 1971! Here we go! 🎥 👍🏻
