Clint, you can't sing, and your cast can't act!

One of the worst acted movies I saw from 2008. Clint Eastwood must have told his fellow cast member's to not act, to make him stand out more. Why were they so baaad at acting. Wow.
The plot is pretty standard, predictable and not really worth a damn. The only character I cared about was Clint Eastwood and the girl that really rescues his soul. Still, I knew the beginning, middle, end and I even knew how it was going to be told.
The only good quality in this film was the direction, which Eastwood never disappoints. He is a very creative director and I do enjoy his style.
Still, I would rather see Clint's last role in a western, in which he kicks serious but. This was his second best movie of the year with Changeling far surpassing it. What dropped it from 2 to 1.5 was his horrible singing at the end.

This is not a bad movie, maybe you got the Chinese dubbed, then translated back into English version??? Plus you have your rating in your review different than the rating for the movie itself.

I can't believe this is in the top 100. How?
