Interesting characters, good script, good entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (10 February 2009)

I enjoyed this movie. No, Walt Kowalski is not the most likable character. But it's an honest portrayal of the way some men of his (or any) generation view the world. His struggle to cope with the changes happening around him, and the application of his old fashion values to the problems faced by the Hmong as they grow on him is a worthy journey to take as the film plays out. Even if you don't like Walt, you eventually root for him.
Funny script, good acting from a bunch of newcomers, and a worthy addition to Clint Eastwood's acting, writing and directing accomplishments.
