I enjoyed it. It's a fair way short of "Brilliant" though.

Could've been decent but Eastwood's transformation from grumpy racist who hated everyone to grumpy racist that liked everyone was daft.

And the ending was pish.

And the acting, apart from Eastwood's, was woeful.

Nope it makes a lot of sens to be honest. As you see he's not a "proper racist" more a very sad and grumpy old man...
He just fears what he can't understand...

Nah it was daft. He's kicking about their house calling them zipperheads and they're all smiling and laughing.

If he was kicking about calling folk "****s" you'd have the Daily Mail up in arms proclaiming "ban this racist filth"

And what was the point of not having a gun at the end?!?
