Just got home seeing it with my wife. We both liked it and thought that Clint should get nominated at the Oscars for it. Good and believable plot. I would recommend seeing it too.

I had the good fortune to be sitting next to a group of ethnically diverse kids at this movie. When I got the gist of how the movie was going it was fun watching these kids react to Clint's "attitude" . They were all laughing ... kind of like when you don't think you should be laughing but you can't help it ... about 20 min in everyone was just having a good time in the theater .

I like the movie because there is redemption in it and a ending that is a bit surprising but very fitting and perfect in my opinion.

The white kid that takes the asian girl next door out for a date is Eastwoods son. He goes by the name of Scott Reeves.Like Nicholas Coppola goes by Nick Cage
