True Crime
1999
**½
Director: Clint Eastwood
Cast: Clint Eastwood, Isaiah Washington, Denis Leary, Lisa Gay Hamilton

A rather predictable crime drama about an elderly journalist and a recovering alcoholic who is convinced that the man about to be executed is innocent. Clint cannot carry a film like he used to, and it's a bit uncomfortable to watch his character hit on 20-year-old girls all through the story. Based on Andrew Klavan's novel.
