It’s a fringe recommendation for me but despite the clichés and bad acting from the supporting players (boy does this film have some flaws) I think the sincerely in the relationships and characters are formally well earned
Eastwood also has some auteuristic marks in the film from the preacher scenes (million dollar baby) and the spitting (directly from outlaw josey whales)
Some great dialogue exchanges with Eastwood- both on his own and some nice scenes with John Carroll Lynch
Not in or near the top 10 of 2008 but in the archives
