    I am looking forward to it. The GREAT thing is that my Dad used to own that car. Same color and stripe. I remember vomiting in it when I was 7.

    Not a great movie by Eastwood's standards, typical liberal view points that have been standards for the past 30 years,old white war vet who dislikes immigrants but grows to love them because he sees the error of his ways. Wait and see it on tv.

    Personally I go to a movie for entertainment not to be enlightened, but I will add some good spots to movie but nothing like Forgiven. Just my 2 cents.

    I saw it yesterday. Eastwood's performance was very good. Everyone else looked like rookie actors so their performances were kindo wooden.

    The racist, hatefilled, self loathing Korean war vet gains enlightenment and redemption through self sacrifice.

    No regrets in seeing it. 2 1/2 stars. Not as good as Unforgiven or Outlaw Kosie Wales but worth a gander.

    A couple of bad acting jobs by some of the cast but Clint did a solid job.

    You might called it LIBERAL to say the character had a change of heart about the neighbors after getting to know them and not their race but hey I am not old and bitter even at 46.

    I did like the unique way of getting back at the gangs....

    I hope he gets an Academy nod for this...and yeah it is worth seeing on the big screen just wait a few days and wait for an early show. As for crowded theaters with kids I am to the age that I think their should only be theaters for older people with no kids and those that don't droll or mumble at the screen.

    Pard at 46 you have been so bombarded by liberal Hollywood and television it would be difficult to see the difference, the white guilt
    the liberal media has put forth caused more damage between races then any racist could do. When one watches this movie and only see the racism in the Eastwood character helps reinforce my argument.

    I've always been a fan of Eastwood too bad to see him have this as his last movie if in truth it is.

    Even so, is smart enough to know the difference between the John Wayne generation and the Alan Alda hippie generation. The wimping of America has gone on long enough. But the point of the movie showed the Asian family had enough self respect to make that kid do atonement for what he did. That is totally lost on this generation I fear, taking responsibility for ones own actions. And the Clint Eastwood character had enough respect for that to teach him what he could and explain what he was teaching. Sad to say those characteristics are non existent in this generation.

    Probably one of the funniest serious movies I have ever seen. I couldn't stop laughing at some of the stellar one liners.

    If you see the liberal conspiracy in all these movies, then you were looking for it. Just watch the movie and stfu.

    I saw it Sunday night....Not many people in the 'movie house' and that's a good thing. A little too much 'foul mouth' talk but that's the way it goes down on the street (from what I hear).....He's not 'The Josey Wales' but it's do to watch....once.
