What did you all think of this movie?
It was a mixed bag for me.
On the bad side, I wasn't crazy about the racism in the movie. It seemed really forced and they relegated to stereotypes more than anything, which I think a lot of people might find offensive. I also didn't think the acting (aside from Eastwood's performance) was anything spectacular.
On the good side, I DID enjoy this movie's theme and I really enjoyed the portrayal of what a man can be. There aren't too many movies that portray qualities such as hard work, respect, and standing up for what you believe in as attractive qualities anymore. And I appreciated that in this movie. (and yes, I laughed quite a bit at Eastwood's straight-shooter style) I also appreciated the take on life and death and how we cope with that.
Overall, I enjoyed this movie, but it did have some weak points.
