In Reply to: and Clint looks like a giant tortoise that has been pulled out of its shell... posted by dave c on January 16, 2009 at 13:03:54:
unexpectedly good comic delivery, playing off his tough screen persona, make the film.
Clint certainly likes to show ethnic criminals a lot. I'd like for him once to take on a white gang, skinheads, meth dealers, whatever.
The White Man who rescues the poor downtrodden unable-to-defend-themselves immigrants is a little silly. A cursory glance at the Marine Corps recruitment would show an amazing percentage of immigrant kids.
