Grizzled old man finds redemption

Rating: 1/10 (27 February 2009)

Being a fan of older Clint Eastwood movies I am happy to say that this is not the last we will be seeing of him. It has been widely speculated that this will be his last movie but I can confirm now with the utmost certainty that this will not because there is no way in HELL Clint would allow his career to end with a ball of HORSESH*T as bad as this. I can't remember being more disappointed leaving a cinema. Maybe they were trying to resurrect a character Clint is no longer physically able to play. He just growled all the way through the movie. The movie starts with his wife's funeral and a catholic priest trying to fulfill the dying wish of Clint's wife of getting him to go to confession. You immediately know that by the end this will happen to give him his redemption. He then becomes acquainted with the neighbours, none of whom can act. One in particular, Sue Lor, was so annoying that when she was badly brutalized later it was impossible to feel bad. This is a bad telling of an old story about a grizzled old man whose heart is melted and who finds peace before dying. It has been told a hundred times before and each time better than this one. If you like Clint stay in and rent Unforgiven and never ever watch this movie.
