Eastwood's role is perfect in the film. I found myself lol'ing at his facial expressions every time he got pissed off. Gotta love that trademark snarl he has goin on. But the acting in this movie is pretty horrible. I know there aren't any other big names in the movie... but there has got to be better talent out there. Toad (Tao) was by far the worst. What's up w/ the shifty eyes and the lame dialog w/ this guy? It was like C-level acting w/ him. And don't give me the excuse that he's Hmong and its their culture.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndYou said it. Here's some more indepth criticizing...<span style=\'color:#000000;background:#000000\'> There were a few parts where the supporting actors realllllllly dropped the ball. When Clint locks toad in the basement... I did not buy toads reaction AT ALL. It was terrible and cringe worthy. And I know it's very picky but at the end when Clint goes to the barber and gets a shave in addition to his haircut. The barber says "You've never ever asked for a straight shave before"... ugh I hate shit like that... THEN getting fitted for a suit Clink says "I've never been fitted for a suit before"... I ABSOLUTELY DISPISE lines like this in movies. Lines like that in movies, to me, are saying; Your feeble mind lacks the capacity to remember that Walt is a froogle old man who would normally never do any of these things. One more thing this is essentially a reprisal of the role he played in Million Dollar Baby. I think he played it better the first time. Along with the other points mentioned in this thread are why I think this is not one of Clints best. I did think that the character Sue was plyed exceptionally well though.</span>. I did enjoy this movie for the most part and would probably watch it again. For anyone who hasn't seen it watch "The Wrestler" Another good movie. Mickey Rourke is perfect in this movie.
