I saw it last night. It was very typical of the most recent crop of Eastwood directed films... very slow and deliberate story telling. Very easy to follow and the most prominent emotion encountered is based on nostalgia.

All that said, I’m very glad I saw it in the theater. This character and Walt are what I feel are his two most honest characters in a long time. I mean, the movie is no Black Panther, but I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Saw it today, great movie. Its more about the importance of family than any cartel stuff. Clint was great in it as well.

Very disappointed. Not very good. Cliche, predictable, trite. Not a good script. Acting only so-so (and I love Eastwood and Bradley Cooper). I honestly felt like I was watching a Hallmark movie. 3/10

Good movie and surprisingly funny.

It’s pretty much Walt Kowalski from Gran Torino hauling drugs from state to state.

It had a couple of racist jokes in it witch made me lol pretty hard.

Hoping that his last movie will be a western.


I was born in the early 80’s but my dad just about all Clint’s movies on tape. The first movie I actually remember watching was “The Good, The Bad and the Ugly”. Still watch all his films to date.

Unforgiven is probably my favorite modern Western. It’s probably my favorite Western ever.

I was 10 and my dad was all about his movies too. The first movie he showed me was High Plains Drifter. Loved it. After that, Ive seen all his movies but High Plains is still my favorite. Probably because it was the first one I saw. Love TGTB&TU and of course, the Outlaw Josey Wales. Unforgiven is still one of my top 3 favorites of all his westerns.

I saw it today and thought it was very good. Clint did an excellent job and played the part to the T. Look up Leo Sharp and you will find an article that has the actual dash cam footage of when he was arrested. Again, Clint played the character to the T.

You're a fricking idiot. Clint will be around for several more years.

Watched Outlaw Joseph Wales on history this morning. Damn good movie. Damn good.

This was my reaction after watching Sully. But it seems most others liked this one so I’m sure I’ll give it a shot but I hope it’s not like his last couple efforts

Well considering you’re basing this off of a trailer of footage that was filmed probably around a year ago I’d say you’re full of shite.


Probably not.

Two critics on the podcast I listen to were at each other’s throat over this movie. The very liberal lady thought this movie endorsed racism and was trash and one of the worst movies this year. The old white guy was telling her she was being judgemental. Kinda awkward funny

Definitely filmed in augusta over the summer. They had sections of Broad Street closed off several days at certain times for filming. I hate it I couldn’t go and watch them film, but they only did it during the week and never on the weekend.

Good movie, but the acting really missed the mark in a few scenes. The engagement party was painfully awkward. It felt like a scene from The Room.

Saw it last night, the wife and I enjoyed it. The dykes on bikes scene had me rolling. I'm sure the PC crowd will be appalled by the jokes in the movie

Loved Kelly's heroes. I Was docked in Egypt in the 90s and me and another shipmate would walk to the USO and get drunk watching this movie at least once a week before we would go to the bar. Great movie.

I agree. I watch it at least once a year. What an all-star cast too.

Donald Sutherland as Oddball....awesome !
