Me and a buddy downloaded this yesterday and I’m still not really sure how I feel about it. Eastwood was awesome and everything but I really wasn’t expecting his character to be a racist, let alone a very devout stubborn almost evil racist. The pacing of the story was also kinda weird. It felt like the story just totally shifted gears into a different kind of movie every half an hour or so.
The part that pissed me off the most is they spend the first half hour letting us know that Eastwood’s playing the most outwardly racist old man you’ve ever met, but all it takes to turn him around is some beer and some “gook food” as he calls it.
In the end Eastwood was awesome but the story itself could have used a bit more work and could have been a lot more focused. I like the idea of setting up a character as a very unlikable biggot but his redemption just seemed sort of half assed.
