Clint's last as an actor?
By gyl (17 reviews) from Glasgow , 14 Feb 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
This is billed as Clint's last outing in front of the camera and if it is, then it's a great swansong. Admittedly i'm a huge Eastwood fan, so this might not be for everyone but if you liked Dirty Harry, Unforgiven and Heartbreak Ridge then you'll like enjoy this and his character will ring some bells.
A brief plot summary: recently widowed, Walt Kowalski (Mr Eastwood) has to adjust to life without his wife who, i'd imagine, kept his vulture kids from the door and his racist views in check. The latter come to the fore when a gang of hmong (oriental immigrants) harass his neighbours but make the mistake of encroaching on his lawn. Without giving much away, the plot (grumpy old man takes lonesome teenage outcast under his wing) treads familiar territory but Eastwoods screen prescence raises the standard a couple of notches. Some of his lines are deliberately hilarious and the banter he strikes up with his young hmong neighbours is a joy. The irony of his initial hatred (of immigrants) due to his surname isn't lost, but isn't shoved down your throat either.
To sum up, if you're an Eastwood fan then you'll love this movie. If not, you'll probably still enjoy his performance.- Was this review helpful to you?

(1076)Watch because it's Clint!
By FullofStars (41 reviews) from Scotland , 14 Apr 2013Clint fans (me included) will flock to watch this, and they should. Not his best film, by a long way, but he pulls out a fair performance in this modern day misfit movie. When he's not on screen it falls flat but when he is even a snarl or raised eyebrow is pure gold.- Was this review helpful to you?

A GT badged film
By Bobsview (554 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 13 Mar 2013Clint Eastwood is excellent as old man struggling with modern world youth culture and prejudice. Veryy good and hard hitting. Great development of characters and detailed onservation of behaviour.- Was this review helpful to you?
