Is anyone else looking forward to Clint Eastwood's latest film?

I am, I am sure it's going to be amazing and the reviews from the premier have said it's an awesome film.

Clint Eastwood kicks ass. :tu

[icehog3]

Clint has gone from an entertaining actor to one of the finest filmakers in the world. He is truly one of my heroes, and I can't wait to see his newest film.

[Genetic Defect]

This looks like a great film, I think the end will be :sad: though

[Cigary]

I'd watch any Eastwood movie,,,he just doesn't make a bad one at all. I remember following him around on the golf links Pro Am and this guy is a class act all the way.

*THREAD JACK*

My Brother had a 72 Gran Torino in the mid 80's. It was a mustard yellow POS that he got from my Dad's GF who, get this, NEVER changed the oil but added as needed. Funny thing is it actually ran pretty good. That is until he changed the oil.

*END THREAD JACK*

Yes, I would like to see this movie. It does set up for a sad ending.

There are very few real men left in Hollywood these days.

Clint is still one of them.

The joke growing up was that Clint Eastwood could just walk into a room and women would get pregnant.....:D

[BORIStheBLADE]

Ya I'm looking forward to seeing it too.

[Mugen910]

I cannot wait to see this movie!

[dcamacho]

i saw it 2 weeks ago. its a good story, as usual he does a great job acting. the man is getting old and u can tell at times, but he still holds his own!

its a little racist at times (mostly asian), with a lot of jokes. but i guess that's what the movie is about. it really has nothing to do with "Cars" but the Gran Torino does play apart of the story.

dont expect to many gun action or to much violence. but u will get an awesome story and connection with the actors.


good ending. good message. and its always great to see Clint :)

my rating: B+

[NCRadioMan]

I saw it last week, it's been on the internet for a while, and it was a very good movie.

[ucla695]

I've heard good things about it and plan on catching it soon.

We will see it for certain, but will be waiting for the DVD/Blue-ray release. We just don't care for the movie theater scene or crowd of current times.

Great movie! I saw it on a dvd screener last week and again on the internet site over the weekend. Did you see it on the ninja site? I might watch it again this weekend.

I'd watch any Eastwood movie,,,he just doesn't make a bad one at all.

[Whee]

Hey Mean D, thought you'd like this little piece on Clint.

http://screenrant.com/clint-eastwood-man-figuratively-literally-vic-4839/

[karmaz00]

cant wait to see it this week

[mastershogun]

Finally got around to watching it.
I'm an eastwood fan to begin with, so might be a little biased, but I thought it was pretty good. Some of the acting was really bad but I didn't mind it so much (some of my favorite movies like Once did not have the best acting). Some might be uncomfortable with the constant racism but that was one of the major themes to the movie and was done purposefully (I know many Hmong).
All in all, if you can get past some of the acting it was a good little flick. I enjoyed it more than million dollar baby, but I also like not so polished flicks

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Wow, great movie! Clint did a great job! I didnt think i would laugh as much as i did:r

[LasciviousXXX]

I actually thought that this was just a so-so film. It was enjoyable enough, but by no means a "masterpiece" or "shining achievement" like some critics are saying. Heck I don't even think its Eastwood's best film.

Ok for a rental, but I'm glad I got a screener copy and didn't pay to go see it :2

[theycallmedan'lboone]

part of this movie was so vintage eastwood that I could almost see him saying, "you goin to pull those pistols or whistle dixie" The movie is certainly a good story. Although I don't know if I could watch it again, for the same reasons I cannot be a police officer.
**Thread Jack
In the movie shooter, the attorney general says, "this is the United States of America, you cannot simply clean the streets up with a gun, even though sometimes that's what's needed." this applies to this movie, if you've seen it you understand, if you haven't... get your ass to a theater. I just cannot comprehend this concept. The idea that if something is wrong, you do what it takes to fix it, our forefathers did it. MY relatives not so far back did it when they stood up and said that the United States wasn't the best, and seceded. When good men are resigned, or stand by to do nothing, our country is doomed.
**Threadjack end.

Thank you sir:tu

[boonedoggle]

just seen this flick today. What an excellent movie. I thought it moved kinda slow in the character development, but it was all purposeful. CE was awesome as a mean guy; I thought it was a really unique roll for him. The movie was long, but there was a reason for everything in the movie. The movie drew me in and did not distract me like other 2 hour long movies. Go out and see it now to draw your own conclusion. I think most people will enjoy it!

[Darrell]

BORIStheBLADE brought this down to the shop today and we watched it.

I have to say I really enjoyed this film.

Eastwood was a class act in this, he was such a hard ass yet very caring at the same time.

The dialogue in this flick was wow, just wow. I could not believe some of the stuff that was said.

He deserves to win a few awards for this film. Everything about it, was great.

[hotreds]

Great, indeed!

[BORIStheBLADE]

Ya it was a great movie. If you can't handle ethnic slurs...... this is not your movie.

[ucla695]

I caught it over the weekend and thought it was a great movie. It lived up to the hype and I recommend seeing it if you haven't already. :tu

[Ken]

When Saturday night and paid full price for a movie and wasn't disappointed at all. Great movie!

[AdamC]

I saw this movie last week. Its a good movie, very racial, with comedy thrown in. Clint was the man in this movie.
