I like Eastwood movies a lot, but hasn't this plot been done countless times before?

I watched it the other day. It's a really good movie, really funny in parts, really sad in others, kinda of a twist at the end I didn't expect. Overall I thought it was great and it wasn't what I expected from the trailers. Eastwood singing over the closing credits had me laughing for like 30 minutes. He sounds like a bad satchmo.

I understand what he's asking. The trailer makes it look like an old man defending his neighborhood from gangsters. i.e. Deathwish, etc. so I can se the point he's getting at.

How much can I praise Clint for looking so good at age 77(?) without sounding like a homo?

He has already changed his tune on that. In November he said he wanted to go out on top.

In December he said he still had some good ideas and work left in him.

Not greatness, but I enjoyed it and I had no idea how it would end.
