Einkunnir og umsagnir

This is so good. Clint is at his gravelly-voiced best, which nobody does better. The film develops his character brilliantly as it goes along, showing why he is such a pain to get along with, and he gradually thaws out as he develops an unlikely relationship with his young neighbor, who he would have formerly classed as an enemy. Some great funny points among the reality the film portrays, and the end had me in tears. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

This is a great example of a heartless retired war verteran from Korea, who's peaceful village soon swarms with Koreans. It is an extremely emotionally journey of his gradually building relationship with a young boy who was forced to attempt to steal his car by a gang. It has an emotional ending that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

Politacally Clint can look suspect, but a lifetime of being in the industry and a genuine love of America seperate this film from almost anything else I can think of. A "real" patriot showing that what makes you an American isn't the colour of your skin.
