An amazing achievement and a fond farewell performance to a cinematic great

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2012)

Clint Eastwood has been a house hold name since even before I was born, I grew up watching his movies on the silver screen and on home video as well. To say he has had an amazing career is the equivalent of saying the sahara desert is humid. So when I heard this would be his farewell performance to acting I had my expectations skyrocketing through the roof.
The story of an old man overcoming his own racist views is brought to life through Eastwood's amazing performance. The shots are brilliant and the way the film flows doesn't leave a single moment of boredom and keeps you enthralled throughout the duration. Seeing Clint at his age have a fist fight is slightly laughable but is done with a sense of realism that makes me believe that this character who is at least 50 years the senior of the character he is fighting, hold up.
If you haven't seen this movie, then I would go out and pick it up. Clint's swan song performance is one that I can happily sit back and let book end his career in terms of acting.
