Best movie I've seen in a long time. Probably going in my all-time top 10 favorite movies.

I'm not saying it's one of the 10 best films of all-time. I'm just putting it in my list of 10 favorites (which change fairly frequently). It's probably not for everybody but I thought it was excellent. If you like Clint Eastwood, you SHOULD like this.

It deals with some ugly stuff, but it's a good flick. I know a lot of old men who could stand to see it.

I come from a family where racism is very strong. My wife and I have had discussions about race with both of our families and neither side will admit they are truly racist despite the constant derogatory comments. It really bothers me. Clint Eastwood's character reminded me a lot of people I know which may be why I enjoyed the movie so much.
