I'm sure it will meet my expectations, which are high.

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

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
