Solid film

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2008)

I am not a film reviewer, but a movie lover, and as much as I just wanted to see some good old Clint Eastwood ass kicking, this was a wonderful film, documenting a part of our collective American existence, one which I am fortunate enough not to be a part of but have some familiarity with.
I feel like Mr. Eastwood has told a story many older Americans living in older communities would like to carry out, to toss out the trash so to speak. It dismays me to see the laziness and crassness of the modern youth, regardless of ethnic background, the lack of work ethic and the denigration of the value of all persons, no matter their age, race or creed.
It is easy to be lazy and it is hard to work to better oneself. It is easy to isolate oneself and takes bravery to break the barrier into another person's world. I took this from this film. I feel honored to have taken it in and am pleased that an icon such as Mr. Eastwood would continue to enrich the entertainment world with his presence.
Thank you sir for doing so.
