Love that guy. Watching that, I might pop in my Gran Torino DVD tonight.

This looks superb.

Them Farmiga girls can straight get it

Clint is GOAT

Looks pretty great

Excellent movie! The last time we will see Clint on the Big Screen. He was amazing and the acting was terrific all the way around.

This is a must see movie 5/5 Stars!

Huh? Has he formally announced his retirement?

I rarely go to the movies and when I do it's for action-type flicks. But this is Clint Freaking Eastwood! I need to see it.

The wife and I saw this a couple of weekends ago. It was excellent.

I think Clint Eastwood is awesome but I thought this movie was very slow and kinda boring.

He should have hung it up after Unforgiven. Gran Torino is the worst movie I have ever seen in the theater.

Useless fact: Clint was in a Francis the Talking Mule back in the 50s. Full circle, baby.

There is a nice long fade out scene at the end. Evidently, Clint has said that will be the last, but will continue to direct.

I hope we see him at 100, kicking some dudes ass-lol

Went to it see this afternoon. Meh.. It was kind of slow and below average for one of his films.

I could go for a Dirty Harry 6

I loved Gran Torino. I didn't bother seeing it in the theater, but it was far from the worst movie I've ever seen...

“Go ahead punk, make my day.....as long as it’s before 4. Can’t miss bedtime.”

I liked Gran Torino. But this, I mean, why the **** would I want to go see a movie about some geriatric drug mule? The entire premise just seems like some awful part of life that I'd just as soon not know about.

At this point, just go for the brilliance that is Eastwood. Both directing and acting. Enjoy his work while he's still putting it out.

I heard this sucked and was only better than his previous garbage film that used the gimmicky method of having the real people play themselves. Can anybody confirm?

Awesome looking flick. Gran Torino was great. Gotta love Clint.

agreed, it was not as good as hoped. Rather jumpy in parts, they skip around especially towards the beginning rather abruptly.

Yea, Gran Torino was awesome. I loved it.

The dude is 88 years old, still starring in movies. Quite amazing.

Gran Torino was shit. The acting was pathetic, the level of casual racism by Clint's character was so over the top it was cartoonish, and his character's brilliant plan to beat the bad guys was ludicrous and contradicted everything we had learned about the neighborhood throughout the movie.

But, other than that...no, actually it still sucked.

The only way that POS movie could have been saved is if Clyde from the "Any Which Way" movies showed and slaughtered the gangbangers with a straight-razor.

You are probably in a very small minority with your review.

Yep, that movie was fantastic. While this one isn't quite as good as Gran Torino, it holds it own. Gran Torino 9/10 and The Mule 7.5/10. I consider Gran Torino to be some of his best work.

Totally.
Anyone that didn't dig Gran Torino can get the **** off my lawn.

I've never heard the term zipperhead before. I bet that made alot of old men happy, that they had a new racial slur for asian people.

That term is atleast as old as ww2 . Them old men who fought in that war invented it.you know the ones who did time in the pacific theater that could give 2 shits less about being pc

Apparently you've never seen Full Metal Jacket.

And most old men have probably heard the term. Especially those who fought in wars against the Japanese, Koreans or Vietnamese. They also just might have an understandable attitude problem regarding the enemy they fought. Months or years of brutal combat in conditions most of us can't imagine, seeing your friends die horribly, might possibly color a person's judgment. I'm sure I've heard that somewhere.

And, of course, the whole theme of the movie was Eastwood's character overcoming his prejudices, and in the end sacrificing himself to save the very people he initially despised.

But don't let that stop you from being your PC douche self.

I think a lot of people saw the movie this way but I saw it a little differently. He had colorful names for everyone, including people he liked. He wasn't really prejudice so much as an old grumpy guy. Hell, he didn't even like his own kids if I recall correctly.

I may need to go rewatch it again but I thought the moral was more along the lines of words alone doesn't necessarily make one a racist. The whole "actions speak louder than words" type of thing.

Hah. No.

Yep.

Or listened to George Carlin.

I'm looking forward to seeing it. I think that Eastwood has done pretty good in his old age. Gran Torino was really good. And he played a pretty good over the hill scout in Trouble With The Curve. Maybe I'm biased because the Spaghetti Westerns are among my favorite movies and I've seen him in so many movies over the years that I just have a hard time disliking anything he's in

I’m guessing he must be from Hmong.

Hmong are a people, not a place.

Yeah right, next thing you’re gonna tell me is Jews are a people and not a place. Pfft

No, of course not. I've been to Jewtopia several times. It's really nice this time of year.

Watched it today. Truly enjoyed it. Pretty funny is parts too.

Seeing Bradley Cooper and Clint on screen together was great!

I’m guessing the movies themes of time, and choosing work over family sort of mirrored Clint’s own life at times?

Very well done.

Movie was pretty dry if you ask me. Just an old guy driving up and down the highway playing dumb.

“I noticed you have a lot of stickers on your truck, so do you want to drive for the cartel”?

ROFL

This movie will be liked by the older white crowd.

Saw the movie yesterday. Overall it was good, not great.
Was really disappointed in how it ended. Left a lot of questions to be answered.
Will definitely go look up the story it was based on to get additional background details

Yea, i looked up the real story after i watched the movie. I guess the real guy only served a few years time. Probably showed him mercy because of his age, he wasnt a career criminal or violent.

IIRC he had terminal cancer, and had a record of drug trafficking

damn good film. It had its funny moments , sad moments , intense moments & some heartbreaking moments . Overall I thought Eastwood delivered the goods here.

8.5/10

Eastwood has some directing skills, no question about it.

Made for Deberg movie. It was ok
