 Eastwood works. October 26, 2009
Nell (MI USA)
Haven't had time to watch it, but like Eastwood movies and heard it had good reviews.
 Clint at his best. October 18, 2009
Bill Thomas (Arkansas)
Clint has never been mellow and he exceeded my expectations on this one. The evolution of bitter and bigot to the finale is believable and with a startling conclusion. One has to imagine what the Hmong are saying but body language says it clearly enough. Clint's relationship with his own family was the balance the film needed, especially the brat grandaughter. Few if any of Clint's films are rated this high at my house, and I have seen them all over and over.

Although Clint is getting up there in years, he still has it together. I love the use of his WWII language in this movie. When he called the Japanese lady "Dragon Lady" I almost died laughing. Good plot, funny as heck and worth seeing many times. A great movie. Get the Full-Screen edition unless you have a new LCD/Plasma tv then the Wide-Screen is ok. I went for the Full -Screen and glad I did, even with my new LCD.

I like all Clint Eastwood movies, and this one is no exception. It had action, suspense, and also touched my heart.
