5 out of 5 stars A Very Well Made Movie   June 12, 2010

I have to admit that the Thao character could be a bit better actor. Everyone else did very well--specially the young Asian character Sue. She should keep at it. Eastwood did not have to act more than what he already is as an actor--the rusty, caustic demeanor that is so typical Eastwood. Of course, it's just a movie, so it did take some artistic license; but the human element it tried to show, the story it tried to tell, was shown and told well. The finishing solo by Eastwood was also very good--possibly the most tender part of the movie. I am giving it five stars. For many, it may deserve less than five, but it certainly does not deserve one star like many gave. I suspect people do not want to get close to their soft side, so touching movies may annoy them.
Good show. I recommend it.

One of Mr. Eastwood's best. Unfortunately it's also a pretty accurate reflection of Detroit's decay from a once great city.


5 out of 5 stars Clint at his finest   May 30, 2010
Michele G. Zediker (Erie, Colorado)
I originally saw this movie on the big screen. I have long been a fan of any movie with Clint in it from his early career, to Dirty Harry and his later works - thrillers, comedy and romance. I heard this was going to be his last movie since he is getting on in years. This was a remarkable tale of a man's life and consequences of decisions he made and must make. It was humorous and touching at the same time. I love his toughness hiding the soft character just beneath. I can watch this movie again and again, catching an new angle I hadn't seen before. Truly a magnificent work!


5 out of 5 stars Clint Eastwood fans should buy this movie!   May 30, 2010

This movie is a must have for Clint Eastwood fans. You will laugh, cry and go through a wide range of emotions from watching this film.


5 out of 5 stars everyone who had a parent in Korea should see this.   May 15, 2010

I have to write this this way, because this is how I saw it.

My dad got four medals while he was in Korea: the UN/Korean, the Bronze Star, another one I can't remember, and the one he was most proud of: the Distinguished Flying Cross. That's 70+ successful combat missions.

My dad had a stroke in 2005. He now has advanced dementia. He doesn't remember who he used to be. When I started watching this movie, I started crying because just like the Jack Nicholson charater in a "A Few God Men," it was like seeing my father the way he was...not the way he is now, with advanced dementia, who can't remember anything but his childhood and his 20 years in the Marines.

I wish my dad could go the way that Walt Kowalski did in this movie. He'd have appreciated it...if he could remember how and what, anyway.

I'm only 36. I understood the main character as soon as I saw him, because he was in Korea duing the Korean War. Dad would've done the same thing.

I like the movie.
