Kind of boring.

Was expecting a spectacular end of Eastwood movies and all I got was some old man mumbling. Were you letdown by this movie?

No. Never bored once. Thought it was fairly intense. Eastwood is so papery fragile now, he seemed so vulnerable with
those young guys who would've killed him for sneezing.

Is it Eastwood who is so papery-fragile, or was it the way he played it? It takes a lot of energy to star in and direct a movie.

Probably both. But the great Eastwood has a long track record. He is famous for doing first takes, and for moving
the productions along quickly and smoothly.

yes, i was too.

It was much better than I expected. I actually thought that it would be kind of boring but the story sucked me right in and Eastwood was great. Really good movie.

a nice story but a bit dull. 7/10

Entertaining, but nothing special or deep. Not a rewatch. I was hoping for a tricky ending. The cartel probably would have murdered his entire family for losing $7m in dope. We don't even see if the cartel gets taken down.

The ending was a bit dull. Just television movie quality.

Agreed. It was okay, but kept on comparing it to Gran Torino in my head. Didn't compare.

Bradley Cooper mumbles too, I was glad I had CC and could rewind.
