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.

Thank you sir

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!

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.
