An Impressive Film with a lot of effort

Rating: 9/10 (29 September 2011)

I remember seeing this film being advertised. I remember seeing the trailer to this film and all. But it looked so weird and I was like, maybe I'll watch this another time. Man was I DEAD wrong! I should have watched this ages ago. This Clint Eastwood Classic starring himself as a troubled, grumpy ol' war veteran is one of the most remarkable stories that I have seen in a very, very, very a LOOOOONG time. I mean the last of it's kind I saw was the 1995 Tim Robbin's Film "Dead Man Walking". I say this because this film like "Dead Man Walking", "Shawshank Redemption", "Mystic River" and even "American History X" gave me a lot to think about by the time it was over.
This film was a joy to watch because it combined little comedy and very serious stuff together.
Clint Eastwood as the veteran Walt Kowalski does a 5/5 job for his efforts. He brings life to the character straight away and we have sympathy for this character as he makes us laugh, be sad and makes us more determined to watch the film. All of the other back up actors did a marvelous job. In the acting, story, cinematography and script, it never flawed and it was epic throughout.
I found the story quite intriguing and many of the moments were funny. I felt the comedy scenes with Eastwood saying something hilarious lightened the film up because if there was no comedic lines, the film might have just been deadly serious!? But any how the comedic bits of dialogue pumped the film up to it's full potential.
Lastly i want to say that the ending of the film as well as the whole film itself gave me a lot to think about as it had many twists and introduced many themes to me. The themes were very important as Eastwood did not miss the mark in what he was trying to show his audience. His work was quite flawless and everything was very easy to catch because of how well made the film was.
It was also good because even if there was violence, it wasn't a graphic amount because the little use of violence to me gave a little more development to all the characters because of how the violence was portrayed. It was quite real.
Loved it anyway, 9.3/10
