The story was decent but needed to be fleshed out a little more. Raffo was not the convincing hellraiser his mother made him out to be. There was a lot of confusing elements such as the mother's motives who seemed disinterested in her son until 91 year old Clint snubbed her advances?
Anyway, the acting was cringey. Clint did OK, but Dwight Yokham, the mother and Roffo were horrible! There are a slew of talented actors looking for a big break in Hollywood and in the theater circuit; maybe next time, find some of those people Clint.
I gave it 3 stars only because I love Clint Eastwood. He's my favorite actor; what can I say?
