This a great often overlooked Clint Eastwood movie. Although it's a film about a hitman lured out of retirement to get the name of the man who betrayed his unit in war. Cost his friends their lives and life long injuries. Great camera work. Breathtaking scenery. Awesome movie.

Top 3 Eastwood movie of all time!

Fun little spy thriller.
