This sounds horrendously bland, and wooden acting failed for Gran Torino so I doubt three non-actors are gonna make it work with Eastwood’s one-or-two-takes process. I’m sure it’ll be a seamless production, but the quality of his work has plummeted tremendously. I can’t see this being in the Oscar mix beyond some tech categories.

BUT no doubt the National Board of Review will be primed with their ~eastwoodies~ and award him or the film something undeserved. 😀

In reply to Villings.

This. Amen. I mean, post-Letters, I guess American Sniper is the only solid one. (Gran Torino is garbage. That screenplay alone…let alone the horrible acting from everyone except Clint….) But Sully was awful. Thankfully, the Academy isn’t falling for his bland shit these days.

In reply to Thor2013. No doubt, Oliveira comes to mind. He was a whole other beast.

Manoel de Oliveira directed 26 movies between ages 70 and 106 (not including shorts and documentaries), both Eastwood and Allen have quite a long way to go.

What a great master filmmaker. What a legendary icon. I can’t wait to see his upcoming movies. so happy to have him alive and healthy so he can pull the trigger every time he makes a movie.
