Avis à la une
Diablo(2015) is a sub-par western starring Clint Eastwood's son, Scott. I'll explain the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. The good: the cinematography is gorgeous. Beautiful landscape shots of the American Frontier. Scott Eastwood looks and acts exactly like his dad (especially the mannerisms). I didn't expect the plot twist. It was a tad surprising. And now for the bad. The film is too short, and doesn't go into enough detail about the actions unfolding. Walter Goggins is wasted in this film. The ugly: The plot. Cliché, underwhelming and, at times, extremely boring. It tries to be an homage to Spaghetti Westerns, but ultimately falls flat.
Because of the poor reviews I didn't have many expectations for this western, but, having watched it, I wonder if others saw a different movie. I watched a smart thrilling movie that gave a fresh twist to the typical western genre and stereotypical hero - akin to Bone Tomahawk (another fantastic western with a modern edge of violence). Scott Eastwood is a bit boring at the beginning but once his character evolves, he is brilliant and believable. I had no trouble following the story line and I applaud Lawrence Roeck for using dialogue and action to reveal the twist instead of dragging out a boring detailed explanation.This is not your formulaic Clint Eastwood Western but rather a next generation western in both actor and plot. Well done.
The movie starts out as a good western with Scott Eastwood doing his best imitation of his dad. The imagery is amazing and the story builds well. Along the way a VERY interesting twist is presented that changes the feel of the entire story. Then, all of the protagonists become stupid ducks in a shooting gallery. Can't anyone shoot at a guy that is standing out in the OPEN??!! A hundred feet away??!!! Or hide behind a frigging rock??!! Or NOT run into battle with no gun??!! And, wait there's more! A finale that will leave you scratching your head and feeling sad as Scott's dad (Clint) cries himself to sleep...
Save 107 minutes of your life and watch one of Clint's old spaghetti westerns. They may be outlandish and have odd characters, but, they make some sense and the music is amazing.

I was mainly interested in seeing how much Scott Eastwood reminded me of his Father in those highly entertaining "spaghetti westerns". To be certain there are similarities and mannerisms that are spot on. Perhaps a bit more squinting might nail it? As for the film itself, "Diablo" is a confusing entity. This might have worked better as a simple revenge western without the gimmicky good/evil flip flop. I was impressed however with the cinematography, which is outstanding, however pictures alone cannot make up for the scattered story line, and an ending that screams "out of money". The movie is watchable, especially for those who are curious about how "Clint-like" Scott Eastwood appears to be. - MERK
I have to say that those who gave this poor movie 8 stars to 10 stars are just not honest reviewers who either were the investors of this movies or guys who were suckered into seeing this lousy movie and simply didn't want to be the minority morons who've spent time and/or money to watch it and wanted to fool more people to be like them. This film should never be produced in the first place.
Scott Eastwood should not try to make acting as his career by using his father's influence and reputation to cash in for an easy ride. "Mercury Plains" was already too bad to watch, and this 'Diablo' further proved that he simply doesn't have the gift of acting. The shape of his lips and mouth won't allow him to become a serious actor but a man with a fatal weakness. It's a baby face that no matter how he put beard or a week's stubs on his chin, it just doesn't work. Leo DiCaprio used to have a child-like weak voice that made him unfit for all those tough characters to convince me as the real beings in those movies until 'Revenant' came along, his voice finally turned quite like an adult instead of underage who never became mature enough, making his acting more believable and convincing enough to finally become a Great Actor! Other than Scott Eastwood's mouth and lips shapes are the fatal weak facial feature that could never make him a believable enough character in any film, the lacking of talent of acting is the doomed verdict that he should not seek acting as his career. He should not waste his and our time to fool us by his father's legendary cinema background and put his father to shame. If he decided to fool himself to believe that he could survive in the movie industries, all the best he might have achieved is a B(Bullsh@t)-movie (or shall we say, C*rap-movie?) level actor, and that's for sure.
Consider this is not an insult but a sincere reality check, young man. I really don't like to see you waste your adulthood away and save some more enjoyable time of cinema experience.
