I thought it would be, and I've been talking to people all week telling me how great they thought it would be.

What was bad about it?

The acting....... this movie should have been on the hallmark channel it was that bad.


The story is one I think should be told... but damn did Eastwood fuck up big time using the real people as the actors in the movie.

Even the actual millionaire actors were fucking aids, the first 20 seconds I knew it was gonna be bad

That's so great. This is exactly what I told my dad a couple nights ago. He refused to believe me and I told him that no matter how good/interesting the story is, or how good of a director Eastwood is, you can't take fucking non-actors and make them into something they're not. You can grab unknown actors and make great shit happen, but those are people who do it for a fucking living, it doesn't work with just random people.

Should have bet him on it. He was so sure it'd be good.

E: First review on RT

"They're all handsome but just appalling actors. This disjuncture is impossible to forget while watching the film, and it's very uncomfortable."

Just too cocky maybe? He is old as shit, he might have just lost it, that does happen. Just never a good idea to use non-actors for a big movie, unless you want something like The Room to happen, that's what happens when you get people who can't act to act lol.

I think he was either:

1. trying to do something totally different
2. just wanted to praise and put the spotlight on some real heroes... like a homage to celebrate them
