White Hunter, Black Heart (1990)

2/08: Come on...what's this?

I said I wanted entertainment, not some two-hour flick about a stupid, boisterous, and egocentric asshole with a moral statement at the end. White Hunter, Black Heart should've stayed within the confines of a novel. Unfortunately, I'm treated to the displeasure of sitting through it. The chief reason is that I hate animal killing.

Clint Eastwood decides to drape the enivrons with body parts and stuffed animals including lions, zebras, and elephants, among the other poor souls. Um, you just lost me, dude. I also hate his character, and Clint Eastwood doesn't have the depth to play somebody as complex as John Wilson.

On the other hand, Jeff Fahey, who's usually a terrible actor, does a good job. George Dzundza, the detective from Law & Order, looks thin and will go on to load up some 200 pounds on his body. That's some achievement, I must say.

All in all, John Huston in Chinatown is once enough for me.
