Featured review
seeing the trailer for this film kinda made me expect id be watching Dirty Harry in the suburbs.
What I saw was a bittersweet superbly written, well acted story of humanity and friendship,this film is something that we can all relate to in some way, and isn't Hollywooded up in anyway, the film tells it story without any un needed hidden undertones that so many mainstream directors do to films.
Eastwood is excellent as the hard nosed war vet, and his direction is perfect as always, and supporting cast did there job just fine too
Clint Eastwood was perfect for the role and as director, as he has the knack of taking a story and making a film for the audience to get sucked into the story, and not for critics to pick apart....great film making,
