I wish I could write an accurate review...
0 of 3 found this helpful Ebay just asked me to write a review for a purchase that never made it to my door. So I'll do the best I can:
I've always been a big Clint Eastwood fan, and thought this was one of his best movies as both a director/actor. The Academy of Motion Picture Sciences agreed with me, and gave it a best picture and best director award. For a figure who has made his reputation playing characters like "The Man with No Name" and "Dirty Harry," I found this movie to be surprisingly anti-gun, anti-violence. Sure there's a gunfight in the end - what Western doesn't have that - but it was more somber and shocking than "rootin' tootin'" The motivations were more stark and there was a feeling of letting the Genie out of the Bottle by the time Clint finally downed his bottle and went in to take care of business.
That's my take based on memories of the last time seeing this film about 5 or 6 years ago. Maybe it'll make it into my DVD collection someday, but probably not from Ebay/Half.com. (even if I do get another coupon)
