    Did you have to give the plot away and spoil a fantastic film ?

    And...yes it has been in the cinemas for weeks now.

    Wink Clint did not Swear in Play Misty for Me

    I enjoyed the movie but just noticed how accepted language has changed over the years.

    Great movie, saw it Sat night, highly recommend.

    Hmmm now i know what im going to be like when i get really old. LOL

    Loved his racist approach lines, specially when he parked next to the 3 black boys harassing the white kid with the asian girl.
    In 60 seconds he racially abused all 3, and put the fear of god in the lot of them.

    Even whites are trash, loved the barber male bonding scene too, absolute classic.

    Another Clint classic.

    Well, I'll jump on the band wagon here too....

    really good film, for many reasons.

    1) Clint is really a great actor, I think in his older years he is better than his younger days... as an old grumpy man, he is so believable this is what makes a film, without him in it, this would be nothing simple as that
    2) Good story and well written.

    I did not like then ending... I guess it had to happen like that (as what would you have him do next, I mean what else could he do)

    also I am not sure how realistic it is, for an old guy to go head to head with "punks" from the street.
    If you feed ducks at a pond, chances are your bound to feed a goose or two without even knowing it.
