It's on Sky Premiere this week isn't it?  I was gonna watch it if I got chance.  I'll have to Sky+ it for tomorrow night.

Yes - it has been: watched it Tues night - really impressed [contrary to expectation really]: Clint has cast himself [in *his* movie] as an [initially at least] unsympathetic racist & bigoted character...it's nicely shot & paced with some decent humour & compassion - and a great ending. Definitely worth watching...

...distinct lack of hot chicks though  ;)

Is Clint essentially playing himself again?  His last x films have been the same character, same voice, same personality.  Hey if it works for him fine, but at least challenge yourself.

Kind of I suppose...but why break the habit of a lifetime?!

I liked it. Has Clint being usual 'ornery salty dog, an interesting spin on US gang culture, and very funny in places.
