Eastwood proves phenomenal once again and triumphs

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2018)

Clint Eastwood is now 87 years old as I write this and every bit still the man's man. From his grit your teeth spaghetti westerns, to Dirty Harry, to Unforgiven Eastwood has shown us WHAT movies are supposed to be. The steely eyed gaze, gruff groveled voice full of growls, grunts and innuendos serves the story of the film right to a tee. Not only does Eastwood serve as Director and Producer he gives a powerful and driven performance as a Korean War vet who for a better lack of words is stuck in those times. He believes in being a soldier, the flag and hates foreigners.
The story is great, powerfully delivered of a man who is stuck but learns along the way to forgive and open his eyes and heart. The film delivers a sequence of teachings about friendship, mentoring, bullying, love/hate, gangs and sacrifice. It certainly gives us a direct look into race relations and the stressors that come with. This movie will make you laugh at times, make you certainly think and humble you along the way. GREAT FILM
