(unless you are easily offended by language ) I haven't seen a movie in a long time that kept me completely engrossed from start to finish. I ran the gamut of emotions too. Take some tissues if you see it. It's my new favorite movie. Cindy cindyr@leerburg.com

Lisa Simms Webboard User Reg: 03-25-2007 Posts: 200 Loc: Wisconsin Offline	My husband and I saw it and were very interested to since it was written by someone from Minnesota (that is basically where we live). I learned a lot too about the Hmong culture (there are a lot of immigrants that live in this part of the country). I grew up watching Clint Eastwood, so there was no question about going to see this. It was really a well rounded performance by him and from what I've heard may be his last acting/starring role! Lisa Raine

The audience in the theater applauded when the movie ended. You don't see that much. http://home.comcast.net/~rrpallechio/Hans/hans_signature.jpg

I actually went to high school with the guy (Nick Schenk) who wrote the screenplay, so I just had to see it. I see that he is up for an Oscar for best screenplay, I wish him all the best and I hope he wins. Besides that, Clint Eastwood is one of my favorite actors and his performance is as good as it gets!
