Too Many Gooks Soil The Froth

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2009)

Though I loved the non-PC aspects of this it is so much more than a movie cocking a snook at the philistines who are slowly but surely gaining control of the world. As other posters have said this is something that works - and works gloriously - on several levels simultaneously tackling such themes as nonconformity, ageing, friendship, mindless violence and simple humanity. It would be less than a great shame to verging on the catastrophic should Eastwood not make another film in either (actor/director) capacity but if it has to be he need not feel even the tiniest shred of shame in a swansong of this calibre. As virtually the only name in the cast Eastwood is obliged to carry the film and carry it he does, picking it up by the scruff of the neck and running the length of the field for a touchdown. Go see, you won't regret it.
