Clint is arguably the greatest movie icon ever. I really hope he makes another movie next year...as that will mean he has made movies in the 50s.60s.70s.80s.90s.00s.010...and 020s.....a career that spans 8 decades....incredible and never before happened I believe.
Back to the movie...the way this guy directs is unique..he's not Tarantino ,,,blazing away onto the screen...he's not De Palma...who edges your nerves to a big climax...he just starts and finishes at the same pace....brilliantly holding momentum.
It's a story of redemption and missed opportunities...seeming to be what he thinks of himself..the way he gets the message across without the violence is incredible. You know what happens at some points and the violence occurring but you never see it...that's old school....doesn't need to the gore. Each and everybody gives a great performance...with the exception of Cooper...who seems quite happy to just plod along to take his pay cheque...heaven knows why he was first billed.
Not everyones cup of tea but will keep any fan over the age of 50 happy.
Shout out for his ex wife who for me stole the show.
Catch this on the big screen...marvellous.
