Just watched this last night. It's pretty good. The story is great, and Clint Eastwood is a riot as a jaded, growling old man. I think the "Tau" character could have been better (the acting was weak), but it was still an enjoyable movie.

I was always a Chevy man....

Clint's the only movie hero I've ever had and I'm really looking forward to this flick

You are welcome but I am sure you would've found out.

Might get to it this week if there is time.

Definitely a must see, but I don't think it can top "Unforgiven", one of the greatest movies ever made.

Gene Hackman: You just shot an unarmed man!

Clint Eastwood: If you're gonna decorate your place with my friend, you better be armed!
