Weird that Cliint won't make a movie slandering the Jews :-\ All Clint is doing in this movie is pandering to the Hierarchy. Its kinda shameful.

It's on in the other room, I wonder if it's got curse edits like Snakes on a Plane.

Good film. Prefer Clint in " Heartbreak Ridge " instead.

The kid playing the priest is a horrible actor.

Bronco Billy is his best because it went against type...and it's a splendid small time showbusiness plot line.

This would be a good one to watch!  Takes place in Detroit.  Not a stereotypical role for Clint.

So were most of the Mungs (sp?), but then again they weren't actors (I think I read that somewhere).  That was the only downfall of the movie.  Clint carries it.

Great director!
Good actor!
He writes music too!
Got much better as he got older!

Absolute Power is my favorite Eastwood picture.

Lots of good racially-motivated slurs is this movie.

Yes, it's GraN Torino... ha ha.

Clint Eastwood's son is in this scene (uhhh.. he's the white kid hangin with the girl)


O.K so they've managed to disable all the vids from embedding. Go to Youtube. Type in "spooks" scene. Clints son is walking toward all the black dudes with the chick.

this was a great movie. I slept on it and ended up watching it years later. Good watch.

Great movie. This last decade Clint has been consistently making some of the best movies ever.
