I haven't seen it, but I predicted greatness as soon as I read about the project. Other than Clint the cast was made up of unknown, untrained actors.

Was it a cam, if so how was the quality?

I just got done watching Frost/Nixon, it was a screener DVD.

Not a cam, 10/10.

Thanks for the headsup, 88.

Clint's performance was a Clint performance.

Otherwise the movie sucked.

Yeah I liked everything about the movie too except the acting of the young Hmong kid, it was his first movie and you could really tell it, especially the scene were Clint locks him in the basement and he's yelling at Clint to take him with.

 I liked it and its funny as all get out including the barbershop scenes . The ending is ok by me and remember its a movie if you are entertained then Clint did his job .

I've got a copy sitting on my HD. (Torrent I guess. I didnt want it but my dad wouldn't stop nagging me until I took it). So I guess its worth taking the time to watch?

Definitely worth the time to watch, especially if your a fan of Clint Eastwood, he's just great in it, classic Clint.
