Reviewed by Micky B -
A truly magnificent and well-made human drama... though for much of the running time, I kept getting the sneaking suspicion that I was actually watching a Paul Newman picture! Only during the last ten minutes does it become a more typically recognisable Clint Eastwood flick. Clint plays Walt Kowalski - an embittered veteran of the Korean war, who can't get along with his children, or anybody else for that matter. Only his yellow Labrador, Daisy seems to be his friend. And after his service in Korea, his having Oriental neighbours hardly helps his attitude either. Following the death of his wife at the start, it is apparent that all his avaricious offspring are concerned about is what he's going to do with the house he lives in! Eastwood shines in his first lead acting role in four years, while there are several very good "bit" parts, viz. Brian Howe and Brian Haley as his two arrogant sons; John Carrolll Lynch as his barber, and especially Christopher Carley, as the young neighborhood priest, who is initially despised by Kowalski. Keeping it in the family: son Scott Eastwood plays Kowalski's eldest son, while other son Kyle Eastwood, composed the worthwhile musical score. This well-acclaimed production is Eastwood's most lucrative film to date.
