Over-rated & over-acted

Rating: 4/10 (19 June 2009)

Obviously you'll want to see this movie because of the hype around it, but be ready for disappointment. I thought the story was interesting enough, but that it was poorly delivered. All the actors, and yes, I'm surprised to say, that includes Mr. Eastwood, over-acted their parts. It got to be annoying to say the least. As Eastwood's character changes, it does get easier to watch, but constant poor performances from his co-stars (except Ahney Her) reduce the enjoyability of the film.
My fault is probably that I expected it to live up to its rating. A strong 6/10, far from a masterpiece.
