Padre??

Rating: 6/10 (1 February 2009)

Not exactly sure why a Midwestern Polish Catholic Michiganer would refer to a Priest as "Padre." That, and Eastwood's spitting seemed to be an homage to "The Outlaw Jose Wales."
It was an entertaining movie, but filled with the old Catholic clichés, the old crusty curmudgeonly "I'm not a bigot, I hate everybody epithet-spewing geezer, and over the top symbolism --like the screen in the confessional and the screen in the basement. And of course, when he coughed up that first bit of blood, you knew how it this was going to end.
The war hero stoically suffering his PTSD? Nothing new here.
And Eastwood's final pose? Give me one break, puh-lease!
