Eastwood's finest moment

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2004)

This is the film that Clint Eastwood's directorial career, if not his entire career in film, will be judged by. It is quite simply one of the best films made in the last twenty-five years. So much emotion has been put into this film. It was a true pleasure to watch.
I can't add anymore than what others have said, so I will just send out much deserved praise to the splendid cast. Obviously Sean Penn stands out. Tim Robbins (who I usually can't stand) turns in his best performance, and Kevin Bacon is very good as well. Marcia Gay Harden, and Laura Linney (especially in her last scene with Penn) are also excellent.
The best film of 2003.
