CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
raraha This movie is about a man who commutes a sin before and a kid whose life has just begun. Walt decides to protect the kid even if it costs his life. I like the description of the time course of the friendship between Walt and Thao.
kerimakdogankp Get off his lawn, and if it is the living legend, four Oscar winner Clint Eastwood, you better do. I can't tell you how much I admire to the Clint Eastwood. He is a real living legend. Great actor and great director, and this film proofs both. He played so good, with his talking style, walking and spitting. He directed really good as well. Not much of a action but the story is really good that you won't get bored a second. At the moment I feel like I have to thank to this great man. Overall, I strongly suggest you to watch this film, if you didn't watch yet. You'll also be regret like me that you didn't watch till now.
lostinspace-96511 This is more like it. Clint Eastwood is clearly in his element here, playing a crotchety old man who literally says "get off my lawn" and points guns at people. He's a stereotype but one we come to love. The crowd at my screening was clearly into it and nobody plays characters like this better than Clint. Judging from his bizarre public appearances, he's barely acting anymore. This just is who he is and that's pretty special.
rhysseddon-88973 This film is a MUST WATCH!!! I first watched this when i was 14, it was my first Clint Eastwood film. i would go even as far to see a showing of it in a cinema, it is such a highly philosophical film with characters like Walt(Clint Eastwood), Sue and Thao are very relatable which you can not help but get emotionally involved with. Walt is at the start of the film is a grumpy stubborn old man who keeps a stiff upper lip who does in no way want to get involved with his neighbours but eventually forms a relationship with a Hmong family next door, i'm not going to reveal any more because it's best to go in without knowing too much. This film is a 10/10 and their are not many films I would give that high of a score. I know it sounds like a film you would catch on channel 5 on a Sunday afternoon (you would get that if you Live in England). However if you want to share this film with someone who has no patience, and who is very, how do i say this without offending. In la la land all the time and doesn't think or is a deep thinker about life in general. Don't bother because it will ruin your enjoyment of the film
