At age 88, Clint still has it. I'm a big fan and have seen all his films at least once. I can understand how someone who does not like him finds this movie rather boring. One thing this movie is not is a thriller. But you have to give it a chance and maybe find something valuable in it. You have to invest some time. Nowadays, it is rare to find a slowly moving picture that is not overloaded but straightforward. This tells a story about a man for whom you can actually sympathize, even though he does something criminal.

Aside from one scene, I thought the movie was a pretty good film. Not better than Gran Torino, but still okay.

Clint Eastwood gives a charming performance, for an old racist. It's kinda fun seeing him just roadtripping and singing along to the radio and eating ice cream sandwiches. The story is good but pretty straightforward. A solid movie overall.

I wonder if Clint Eastwood is one of the few directors who could have gotten this movie made. It took me a while to get around to watching it, partly due to some of the negative buzz I heard out there in the Interworld.

I suspect I liked this movie for the same reason a lot of the bad buzzy folk More

Clint Eastwood takes on the character of "Earl Stone", an elderly gent who takes great pride in his award winning flowers but one who is broke; facing the loss of his home and his business. He has to earn some cash, so takes on a job as a delivery driver. He's a Korean War vet, so whilst never quite More
