I have never seen a film that so clearly told you it was going to be a film of triumph over adversity—a Shawshank Redemption—that would leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling, and then three quarters of the way through just calmly took half a step back, breathed in, and then kicked you squarely in the nuts. I’m gonna be sad for the rest of the day now.
It’s a beautiful, simple story, beautifully and simply told. Like all of Eastwood’s best work it is unflashy, understated, and exquisitely crafted.
