Thankyou for just saying that. Clint Eastwood is amazing, the 22nd of January can not come soon enough!

Hey, I just checked out an advanced screening today, and you're right. The ending is absolutely amazingly shot and directed, it would be my second favourite film with Clint Eastwood in the director's chair, followed by Million Dollar Baby, with 8.5/10.

Can't wait to see this film, it was a toss up between Valkyrie and this, for last night, but ended up watching Valkyrie. It seems heaps interesting, from the trailer.

clint eastwood did a very good job. was laughing most of the time. the asian supporting actors were a bit corny in some scenes but it was a fairly good movie.

Clint Eastwood did a great job, good acting on his part and some funny dialogue (racism = hilarity). Highly recommend this movie to anyone. My only complaint is that he didn't shoot one guy in the ENTIRE movie. I mean cmon, it's Eastwood.

Perhaps Eastwood wanted to standout in this flick thats why he chose such dodgy actors. ;)

Hahaha, I agree. But I have to say that if someone with a light heart watched it, they might find it very offensive.

great movie. I read somewhere something about Clint hiring those actors soley for the purpose of conveying authenticity..something like that. But man, how funny were those asian gangsters. lol. and Trey definitely gets the award for biggest white boy of the year in a motion picture.

however, clint should never, ever sing. there should have at least been a warning of some kind.
