So by getting himself killed and causing them all to go to jail for a long time, he doesn't defeat them? How's that?

True. However, I think the poster was looking more of an "Unforgiven" type of Clint Eastwood takedown, where Clint is banging down bad guys.

Yeah we don't want to reveal to the people who did not watch the film yet that Clint did not fire a gun throughout the whole movie, which is one of the small pieces of symbolism throughout the movie.

Just my opinion. Wasn't feeling it. Good movie, but not a great.

Second this. Although it's the same "bitter, old man" character, i found the racisist twist rather amusing. He had some really funny lines.

The acting was terrible, the Eastwood's displays of racism were preposterous, and the scene where Eastwood was killed was laughable. This movie WAY overdone and overrated. I found myself chuckling throughout. Changeling was much better.

Horrible acting, Clint was ok... And I thought Batman's voice was rough, sheesh. Get a tracheotomy ffs.

acting ruined this movie. clint eastwood did well but fuck he's been doing it for a god damned half century

there was one quote that really bugged me, when the hmong female says something like "the hmong boys go to jail, the girls go to school" or some ridiculous blanket statement like that. what a fucking crock of shit

Yeah but members of racial groups constantly stereotype themselves.. It's like when I say all Russians are shifty fucks.
