    What a freakin awesome movie. Toa or whatever's acting wasn't that great but it was easy to overlook. I really enjoyed the movie.

    I watched this the night it was released. Simply one of the best movies Ive seen in a VERY VERY long time. The ending will either take you by total surprise, of if your super in tune with the movie will make total sense. And no this doesnt ruin anything :p


    My girlfriend is Asian and even she was laughing at how racist Clint is in this movie. He is so bad you cant help but laugh. Ive never heard a person use more racial slurs in one sentence in my life....and I know a few people that are self admitted racists

    My wife and i just watched it last night. What a great movie! Don't know how they got away with all the racial remarks, but it was all in good fun especially once you understand what he went through in his younger years in the military. The ending caught me off guard too...
