    Relaesed here today. Saw it by myself. The majority of the audience could have been my grandparents. I'm a 35 year old male and love his movies, seem them all. What is sad to me is this is his last acting roll. That was his statement. He acted his age in this film. Although it was "acting" it was sad to see him "acting" old, if you follow me? I actually work with a guy just like this, he's cool as hell but just a mean old son of a bitch. Mean, really mean, just because he can be. But he is one of my best friends.(40 years my senior) He'll never say that, but I know it. He hates all races, even white, and he is a grumpy old bastard. That being said, he is a good guy, doesnt make sense really, but I have seen him do some great things when no one is watching. I compare this movie to John Wayne's The Shootist. I've seen some compare this film to a Requiem for Clint Eastwood. Well I hope that's not true. I have to say, it's one of the two Clint Eastwood films I have seen in the theater that people clapped at. I'm glad I was there

    I definately want to go see it! My wife loves vigilantes just as much as I do. Just from the previews it looks like Ol' Clint takes out the "Trash" again!

    Just saw it the other night! I honestly didn't know what to expect before I watched it, but DAMN I didn't expect that. That movie was unreal! So fuckin funny too. I laughed more in that movie than I have in most comedies. Even my girlfriend who usually gives me shit for using language used in that movie, was laughing her head off! Highly recommended.
