Saw it last night. At 78 Eastwood is a sharp as ever, fairly spry as well.
I enjoyed it, there are a a couple of uneven and amateurish performances but that's not really off putting in the larger picture. Ahney Her is a standout as a Hmong girl who befriends Eastwood's character and the two of them shine in every scene they share.
The film observes the landscape of themes Eastwood has traveled the past several decades, from the alienated loner, outsider to the rugged individual and scarred survivor right up to the righteous avenger, deliverer and uses this to have an honest and personal look at war, current and past, the choices that people make while experiencing the horror of war and the consequences for Veterans, victims and those left at home.
That he pulls it off is testament to his skills as an actor/director and to the value of his body of work.
