What a horrible movie!

Rating: 2/10 (15 June 2012)

I do not understand how either viewers or professional reviewers could be so kind to this movie! I thought that it was one of the worst I've seen in a long time. Full of bad acting (the performances of the child actors were particularly awful) and soap-opera quality melodrama, this movie was a total disaster.
Did Eastwood get a pass from reviewers because he's old and respected? That's the only possibility I can imagine. This movie looks like a TV melodrama with its hand-held camera work and TV quality sound.
The story is over-the-top and the acting is just silly. Really, sometimes I wonder what IMDb users are thinking when they give out these high ratings!
