Undeserving of Recognition

Rating: 5/10 (16 January 2009)

This movie was a tremendous disappointment. After I heard it was nominated for awards, I thought it might be a good idea to see it. I was totally wrong. I am thoroughly convinced that the only reason it has been nominated for anything is its anti-racism message. The dialogue was unrealistic and horribly written. Few of the actors had any talent or skill. Every single line delivered by Eastwood was growled through clenched teeth (which could be the only way he's able to talk, I guess?). Much of the movie is unintentionally hilarious. The parts intended to be funny are not. Please, do yourself a favor and do not see this.
