You have to wonder if Wally's, oops, Mr. Kowalski's self-realization would have developed without his physical health problems
to... spur... him on. I thought that aspect of the story kinda weak.
Then again, it was written for him to find his courage in that situation. I haven't known anyone even vaguely like his character, and
am only familiar with that type of person from literature or films, so thought him a stereotype, until the last ten minutes when he veered from tradition.
I will watch this film again after a time and have a feeling I may appreciate it more. I do like Eastwood and think he's a damn talented filmaker, just off his mark with this one, scriptwise.
