  • Final Comment:
    • Killian L: Who said a moral lesson can't be entertaining or moving? This underrated movie is one of those guy movies that women will find enjoyable too. Only Clint Eastwood is capable of turning what would otherwise have been just a drama into an action movie.  Recommended for everyone, especially those who feel we have lost our sense of community.
