Michael Caine is an undoubtedly celebrated, acclaimed, and popular actor, with his longevity and versatility as a film actor being particularly admirable. He first found success in both leading and supporting roles as far back as the 1960s, and worked steadily across all sorts of genres over the next 60-ish years, finally announcing a well-deserved retirement in 2023, at the age of 90.
Narratively, Hurry Sundown takes place shortly after the end of World War II, and involves various characters all getting wrapped up in a dispute over a large amount of valuable land in Georgia. It touches upon racial themes in a sometimes awkward way, and as a courtroom drama, it is lacking somewhat… but it’s well-presented throughout, and it’s worth watching for the acting talent involved.
Secondhand Lions, like The Wrong Box, also revolves around a family fortune tied up to some of the family’s oldest members, with Osment’s character placed temporarily in the custody of his uncles by his mother, seemingly with the goal of getting them to pass on their fortune to him. Of course, he learns to appreciate his strange uncles as people, and they do the same with him, making Secondhand Lions an overall simple yet endearing film.
Most war movies contain their fair share of bleak moments, but Play Dirty is particularly grim and detached, especially considering its age. It might well have been too dark to ever take off and achieve widespread popularity, but those looking for some Michael Caine deep cuts ought to check it out, because he’s great here in the lead role, and the film as a whole is also very strong/striking.
