I enjoyed the movie..so gave it a thumbs up..after all it is a Clint Eastwood film. Clint can still pull it off despite the age. It was clear cut..and easy for most to understand. The ending was not surprising to me, he was a Patriot, long military service. Patriots serve and protect..not hollow words to live by. It was also was with tongue in cheek humor!

The new film Definance was very good as well..tells a true story of the The Bielskis brothers "Four Jewish brothers in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe escape into the Belarussian forests, where they join Russian resistance fighters and endeavor to build a village in order to protect themselves and about 1,000 Jewish non-combatants who join them." (movie is over 2 hours)Wonder why many of the Jews were sheep lead to slaughter, or became easy prey to the Nazis--they voiced they were academics-studied Music, Literature and one talked about his buddies in the socialist movement would not believe it if they saw him "learn" how to work with tools to build shelters. Says something about academics who would not survive without those like the ditch digger or the carpenter /tradesmen or "lower class" who were not as educated . The women became requested being equal in carrying weapons. They also learned, if your humanitarian heart says let the enemy go (ex.,milkman), then he will lead the enemy back another day to kill you and everyone around you. Many lessons to be learned in this film. Makes a statement! Very Good!

Both films address: "protect and teach the weak to survive so others may become inherently strong.
