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

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’.

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.

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

Breaking bad meets Gran Torino.

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

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.

We have to go through the usual tense moments back and forth, and watch Earl smoothly enter in and out of danger.

I love Clint and I'll go see this but it really does look like a "breaking bad" knock off, at least conceptually. In "Breaking Bad" the most interesting thing was how the main character, a brilliant good guy family man who just wants to provide for his family, turns into an amoral psychopath seeking personal glory at any cost and yet we continue to root for him the whole time. Wonder if they go down that path. Harder to do in a movie, without dozens of hours to add nuance to the characters.

I saw The Mule on Sunday. Light crowd.

Two stars out of five. It’s a movie we’ve all seen before. We’ve seen the story. We’ve seen the scenes. Very predictable.

Everybody in the movie looked tired. Probably bored with the subject matter.

It’s not a very good movie. And I’m a big Eastwood fan.
