Quentin Tarantino's Favorite Western of the Last Few Years Is Officially a Prime Video Hit




When Warner Bros. unveiled the first trailer for Kevin Costner's ambitious passion project, a four-part Western film franchise that the actor was aiming to self-finance, a cheer erupted among fans of old-school Hollywood studio movies. This was during the heyday of the superhero genre, and in the aftermath of the director-driven blockbuster Oppenheimer's industry-altering box-office success.

Among the many victims of Warner Bros.' 2021 strategy was Cry Macho, which many believed could have been Clint Eastwood's final film as a director.
