Clint Eastwood turned in an outstanding portrayal of an aging scout.

Rating: 8/10 (24 September 2012)

Clint Eastwood has turned in an outstanding portrayal of an aging but not quite washed up baseball scout. His reputation of reviewing and recognizing true natural raw talent with the skill to make them work in the big leagues talent spotters is unsurpassed. He plays Gus Lobel a sort of superstar and superman with that sixth sense to deliver the goods.. He is very rough around the edges and doesn't take kindly to people who rely on technology and computer algorithms to pick the next baseball success story. He leaves everybody wondering if he is physically and mentally able to bring yet another future star to the Braves. In the end his wisdom and experience proves the old goat still has it with the help of his Lawyer daughter played by Amy Adams and a washed up pitcher turned scout, Justin Timberlake who Gus shows he doesn't really know what he thinks he knows. Good family entertainment Rated PG-13 that is a little different for a Clint Eastwood picture
