Mocking mortality itself, Clint Eastwood worked prolifically for more than three decades after directing what many thought would be a swan song. It was back in 1991 that Eastwood made Unforgiven, the Oscar-winning Western that Hollywood honored left, right, and center because it assumed that he was hanging up his boots. Little did the industry know that he would make roughly one new movie a year for the next 30 years. Tragically, Eastwood has now retired for good, having directed his last movie at the ripe age of 93. The movie in question, Juror #2, was released directly on HBO Max in 2023, and is sitting at a terrific 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes. It's a sharp rebuke toQuentin Tarantino's theory about filmmakers losing their touch as they get older. Eastwood was arguably operating at the peak of his powers in the 2000s, when he made hits such as Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River, and Gran Torino.
