Another gem in Clint Eastwood’s movie legacy. This film should win all awards. His acting and directing are unmatched. Great supporting cast...and there is not much violence at all, it is a story about the state of the world...a generational message that seems to say: our grandparents may have actually knew more than we do now.

You got that right. All one has to do is to pick up a copy of one of Eastwood's early big hits, the original 'Dirty Harry' and watch not the gunplay, but the political commentary. Eastwood was savaging the liberal establishment even in '71.

Eastwood might not be as conservative as say, Ronald Reagan but he is (in my opinion) more reliably conservative than Juan McRINO. I don't agree with all of Eastwoods' opinions, but I think he's got something worthwhile to say in 99 percent of his film work.

Another one of his best films in my book, is 'A Perfect World' (1993).
