Awful

Rating: 1/10 (15 October 2006)

Clint Eastwood's movies are terrible. At least, they have been since the "Unforgiven". It i reputation alone that carries. Him. Mystic River was the worst of the bunch. He has not made a good film since The Bridges of Madison County. Mystic was the prime example of star heavy and under produced. Marcia Gay Harden walking around like someone looking for guidance. Sean Penn's non-acting. Tim Robbins? WAT was HE doing there. Shtick shots of tenements and laundry. I fled the theater. The last thing was the under-populated St. Patrick's day parade at the end.
As a result, I missed Milion Dollar Baby. That's all I needed. CW walking around pretending, poorly, to be terse, gruff and disagreeable.
"Flags of Our Fathers"? Can't wait.
May we please return to Pale Rider, Hang 'em High and Play Misty for Me?
