It just took #1 at the box office, Eastwood best BO performance:

I saw it yesterday. It’s perhaps not flawless, but I thought it was excellent, a quintessential American movie.

Someone in an earlier thread called it a “modern Western.” I agree. In fact, there a number of similarities with Josey Wales.

And when he beats up the punk, it’s totally believable, even though he’s 78. During the last Cannes Festival, he said that if Michael Moore ever came to his door like it did to Charlton Heston, he’d kill him. And I believe it.

I want to see it. LOL.

I haven't seen it yet but plan to. What has annoyed me about the ads I have seen for the fim is the fact that the gang members appear to be Asian.

Now I know we do have Asian gangs but I'd wager a bet that they are vastly out numbered by Mexican and black gangs. But, it's PC to vilify Asians.

People think just because someone is old they are vulnerable. Maybe in most cases but in some cases, it is a myth. If the individual in question was a bad ass all their live and keeps in relatively good shape, there are some old guys out there that can whip up on a lot of young ones. And old guys can be extremely dangerous because they know they don’t have the energy to go 15 rounds. So they will want to end it quick which usually means max force.
