This movie is going to be up for a lot of awards, and rightfully so. It was wonderfully written (aside from the goofily absurd amount of racial slurs—more on that in a moment), brilliantly directed, and excellently acted. Except for one minor problem. Clint should hang up his acting hat and stick to directing. You gotta love the man playing a bad ass character at his age. And it actually worked, his age wasn't a problem. It's just that he's been doing "Clint" for so long that his acting comes out as over-baked. When he's growling his lines it's hard not to laugh when a laugh isn't intended because he's more like a cartoon character bully than an actual racist Michigan retiree.
