Maybe Clint Eastwood's very best

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2019)

With so many great movies to his name already as an actor, writer, director, composer and producer, in 2008, after over 50 years making films, Mr Eastwood came up with i think his greatest movie, this one. This is as close to a perfect movie as i have seen. A story about life and death, friendship and sacrifice, it brings the mythical themes at the centre of so many Eastwood films to a kind of culmination in a working class suburban neighbourhood. And Eastwood's 'Walt Kowalski' is in many ways the culmination of all the great loner hero archetypal characters he has played. Everything in this movie is superb, the writing, the acting, the direction and the editing and pacing of the story. Not one scene is wasted. This movie will transport you with it's real life suspense, drama and comedy.
