Eastwood doesn’t like retakes. I think he believes too many filmmakers are self indulgent prima donnas who want twenty takes of every shot.

Hated to see Chief Dan George go....he and Clint paired up well!

Exactly what does no spoiler alert mean?
I have to ask because if it was me leaving a review I just would have wrote, ‘no spoilers’.

[CaptainK]

The movie is very entertaining. If you haven't seen it, go see it. You won't be disappointed.

I recently spent part of a rainy afternoon watching "High Plains Drifter".

It is the story of a badd ass loner who has no concern for what people think of him as he takes control of a town where the cowardly people are being bullied and threatened by an outlaw gang and are unwilling, or unable to defend themselves.

It was made in the 70s, but could be an analogy for the governing style of Donal Trump.

[DainBramage]

Supposedly based on a true story, yet didn’t give any hint as to who it is.

One of the best pairs ever, weren’t they? The wry, sardonic humor was fantastic.

[nikos1121]

He knows what he wants, and he hires skills people, and then rehires them, so you don’t need ten retakes.

Much of the movie is Clint driving, as you’d expect, and he’s singing. I mean they probably filmed him for like two or three hours, and edited the thing.

I mean he makes it look easy, but after 38 movies or so, I think he’s got the hang of it.

Well, you’re right. Didn’t want to spoil the ending.

[nikos1121]

Exactly. Is that the one where he plays a preacher?

[Yo-Yo]

Breaking bad meets Gran Torino.

[nikos1121]

At the end somewhere before the credits it lists that the story is from an article in the NY Times about a 90 year drug runner for the cartel.

[nikos1121]

You got it. These criminal types like in Gran Torino, make you squirm. I mean where does he get these people? You get the feeeling they’re real drug cartel guys from Guatemala or something.

[reg45]

It’s “reel us in” not “real us in”. Reel as in fishing reel.

[nikos1121]

I’m old like Clint.

[reg45]

Blame it on autocorrect. LOL

[Tijeras_Slim]

That was Pale Rider.

[SkyDancer]

The media critic sissy’s don’t like him because he’s first a conservative, Trump supporter, a law and order guy and an American.
