The comedy-drama on release is actually a rather wise, insightful exploration of family and friendship, violence and vengeance.

This is among his lesser recent movies, which doesn't diminish its likability. In fact, it's pleasing to see Eastwood working the middle of the emotional register for a change.

If Mt. Rushmore were to make a movie, it would probably look a lot like a Clint Eastwood movie.
