One of Clint's Finest

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2005)

Being an avid Clint Eastwood fan since the age of 4 (thanks Dad!!), this is one of my favourites. It's ability to be tongue in cheek whilst being comically accurate is brilliant. Highway's one liners are some of Clint's best, and although this film isn't entirely serious, it is based on what the military unfortunately is really like without being too heavy. Love it, love it, love it, and I defy anyone to take this film too seriously, and not feel the same. My favourite line has to be, when Highway is lying in a police cell, having been arrested for being drunk and disorderly after an argument with his ex, corporal Jones is pushed into the same cell after causing a brawl - out of the shadows comes Highway's low drawl "You can rob me, you can starve me, you can beat me, and you can kill me....just don't bore me". Genius.
