Great movie ... watched it twice, which I will only do for John Wayne, Clint Eastwood or the other "spagetti western" movies.

I loved him teaching the kid how to talk like a man !! Good stuff ...

Cheers,

The ending was humbling but I would like to see him wipe out all the "gangstas" in the "hood" just cuz he is Clint Eastwood.
