Never got to see it in theaters but picked up the Blu-Ray the da it came out. I thought it was awesome. Eastwood sure plays a cool old man that I wouldn't mess with. Eastwood is probably one of top 5 actors/directors ever.

What's with all the hate from everyone on the ending? I was on the fence at first, thinking a shootout with Eastwood prevailing but in the end I'm more pleased it didn't include such Hollywood rubbish that's so easy to predict. The ending was perfect, very fitting for the movie and totally believable. Walt pulling a gun and shooting all those thugs and living would have been somewhat cool, but again it'd have been totally unbelievable and a let down of an ending for an otherwise terrific film.
