A very heart warming movie by Clint and all whom are in it. Alot of emotions from me. Watch it, you'll like it.
One liberal's opinion: Clint Eastwood's masterpiece! October 7, 2009

There was a time when I couldn't have believed I could actually enjoy the rough,
violent, anti-PC atmosphere of a film with the name "Clint Eastwood" attached to it.
Not only did I enjoy this film, I found it to be the most wonderfully touching,
funny, heartwrenching movie I've seen in a long, long time. That it is all that,
yet still remains faithful to the Eastwood rough, violent, anti-PC image, is a
remarkable feat.
Even the most successful film directors reach a point in their careers when their
output begins to fade as they get to retirement age. Clint Eastwood is the rare
exception. At 78, he has hit his peak with this film. As recently widowed, embittered Korean war veteran Walt Kowalski, he seems ready to live out the twilight
of his years sitting on his front porch and grousing about the stinkin' world. But
when the next-door neighbors, a family of Hmong immigrants, are threatened by the
local gangs, he finds himself goin' for his guns and standing up against the thugs
in the tradition of Charles Bronson in "Death Wish."
But what starts out as a vigilante revenge story quickly blossoms into a moving
drama as Kowalski warms (in his gritty, teeth-clenched fashion) to his neighbors.
He takes the family's son under his wing and teaches him lessons about life, work,
and romance. Just when you think the story is edging toward sentimentality, there
is a sudden, shocking twist, one that Kowalski and his surrogate son struggle to
overcome. Which Kowalski eventually does, in a poignant ending that both resolves
his crises and redeems his life. It is one of the most spiritually satisfying
endings of any films in recent years.
If you don't think you're the type to enjoy a Clint Eastwood film, think again.
Don't pass this one up!
 "I thought I saw Clint Eastwood; he is such a studmuffin." October 6, 2009

I actually bought this movie for my dad. I heard it was good from many people and so I bought it. In the beginning, the story is somewhat unclear, but just give it a chance, it will get better. I promise! Also, in some parts, I had a hard time hearing Clint Eastwood speaking so I just turned on subtitles and was able to understand the movie better. The movie was worth watching at least once.

This is Clint Eastwood at his best, showing us that even in darkness there is light, and even in death there is value. I must say this is probably up there with his better works like Unforgiven.
