Megan’s Review:
Loved it! I love well written stories in my movies, and this is a story! It keeps unfolding and keeps you interested from opening scene to the credits. There is no “dumbing down” for the audience here, yeah! This is my favorite role Clint Eastwood has ever played. He is good at ornery. I wanted to sit on the porch with him while he drank his ice cold beer and enjoy the gruff grumblings of his thoughts. I love how the Hmong daughter gently breaks down his walls and how willing he is to learn and respect the Hmong culture and traditions. I was so touched by the every day way Eastwood’s character lived his life. Unwilling to change who he was just because other’s thought he should, and how far he would go to protect his new friends. Loved it, loved it!
the family is korean not chinese.
Actually they are Hmong. Hmong are from southern China.
