I'm reluctantly only giving this film 2.5 and not 3 stars, but as good as it was, I felt like I've seen the old guy helps oung boy film before, and I have, it's the Karate Kid. But another Eastwood classic. |

Fantastic! Best Film of '08, that I have seen. There aren't enough words to describe how good it is. Simply put, we need more films as great as this one. |

Perhaps the best Eastwood movie yet. I absolutely love the fact that it is a call for non-violence. |

A Lil Racist |
|
This is my favorite film so far that Clint Eastwood has directed and that says something because he hasn't directed a bad film yet. Eastwood is one of the greatest filmmakers in Hollywood right now and I love how he keeps shooting out freash ideas. See this film! |

Eastwood Makes My Day |
|
No one plays a mean, old cuss quite like Clint Eastwood. As a Korean War vet who just lost his wife, and a disdain for just about everything and everyone around him, Walt Kowalski is that old man in every neighborhood who tells kids to get off his yard... only he can back it up with iron instead of just words.
Better yet, he's also an unabashed racist - which is a problem when the rest of your neighborhood happens to be populated by Hmong. Despite his extra-tough exterior, Walt isn't a monster, he isn't evil - he may be a bit pessimistic, but given the circumstances that's understandable.
Ignoring his pleas to be left alone, his Hmong neighbors treat him kind of like a local hero when he scares off the local gang. His even takes his next-door neighbor, Thao under his wing. He still ... |

Clint, you can't sing, and your cast can't act! |
|
One of the worst acted movies I saw from 2008. Clint Eastwood must have told his fellow cast member's to not act, to make him stand out more. Why were they so baaad at acting. Wow.
The plot is pretty standard, predictable and not really worth a damn. The only character I cared about was Clint Eastwood and the girl that really rescues his soul. Still, I knew the beginning, middle, end and I even knew how it was going to be told.
The only good quality in this film was the direction, which Eastwood never disappoints. He is a very creative director and I do enjoy his style.
Still, I would rather see Clint's last role in a western, in which he kicks serious but. This was his second best movie of the year with Changeling far surpassing it. What dropped it from 2 to 1.5 was his ... |
