Clint Eastwood has never won the Oscar as an actor. That changes with this film. When you see Clint, the baddest of all badasses, tears in his eyes, hands trembling with indecision, snot rolling down his nose, you’ll have seen one of the iconic images of cinema. I liked, but did not love “Mystic River.” Not even the same league. You could compare this to a perfect film like “Unforgiven.” In fact, without giving too much away, this is pretty much the same exact movie as “Unforgiven” with Boxing Coach taking the place where Gunslinger should be. “Unforgiven” is a great movie to watch on repeated viewings; I don’t know if I have the strength to sit through this again. There were black guys on dates, thinking they were going to a boxing movie, who were weeping at the end of the film.
