Mature and great drama

Rating: 9/10 (20 July 2009)

While the trailer might have led you to believe this could be another episode of Dirty Harry (Callahan) or "What would a retired Dirty Harry do?", this is a much complexer movie/story. Yes the character depicted here by Clint Eastwood, has some similarities with his "Dirty Harry" character, but "in the end", he's very different from him (you will get what I mean, if you watch the movie).
Watching Clint act, you wonder how he does it. It seems that he doesn't put much effort in his interpretation of his role, but he still manages to be spot on, even with a small wrinkle or grunt, he can convey more than some other actors could, in a couple of minutes/sentences. I'm happy that while he's dedicated more time to direct movies, he still finds the time to act too (in this case doing both things), finding roles for himself that have an arc woven into the story. Great, simple and powerful -> Clint Eastwood.
