I saw this last night. Liked it--but I'm a huge Eastwood fan, so I've got a bit of a bias. Funny thing was my girlfriend crying at the end. She was inconsolable--just a softy at heart. I couldn't help but have a chuckle at that--her sons were embarassed.
Overall--this is a very honest Eastwood film. He doesn't approach caricature, in my opinion. Yes, we've seen this theme before, but he's so damn good that we don't care.

I'm 100% fine with this. I'm just glad there's an actual plan in place that isn't, "Let's load up on retreads and hope we get lucky." I'm a little tired of that plan.
