    Dogonne liberals. I had plans to see this one. Now what will I see - The Fuckin' Spirit?!

    Thanks Ish.
    Sorry, I hate spoilers too, just had strong opinions for this flick. Go see the wrestler instead and I will revise my post do you are the only spoiler casualty.

    even the part where he's calling the black kids some names because they're picking on the asian girl was stupid. you telling me that in the ghetto no one is gonna beat that old man for saying some shit like he did? yeah right! this movie is horrible. period. i wish i could take back the two hours i wasted watching this movie.
    You too, Jerkoff.

    Dayum...everyone's manners just went out the window?

    Great movie, saw it last night. Clint plays an equal opportunity racist. He doesn't forget to mention .....

    Gooks, Flips, Chinks, Japs, Micks, Wops, Kykes, Beanners, Honkeys, Faggots, Krauts, Frogs, Polaks, Spics, A-rabs, Ragheads, Slopes, and Spooks
    Force is strong with this one...

    I see your point AD

    He played a old Polak. Polaks along with Micks and Beanners don't get drunk. We are immune to booze

    "What the fuck are all you fishheads staring at!" Eastwood's character was also anti-social. If Billy Bob Thornton hadn't already given me that character in Bad Santa, I would have liked this film more. The angry racist thing just got to be overkill, halfway through the movie. Also the girl gave me no insight as to why she found 'Kowalski' amusing rather than offensive.

    Still the flick has it's moments.

    I'll admit, having all of those racist jokes yelled at me from a menacing old white man, it was funny almost out of shock value, but that's pretty much the only upside, and it aint much of an upside to this MESS of a movie.

    Y'all need to start watching some decent movies if you think this is quality shit.

    Those two Asian kids? I think he found them in a 8th grade drama class. I was dying laughing from that kid yelling to get out of the basement, oh so painful to watch. The sister was completely forced also. Horrible horrible acting.

    The moral of this movie is that an angry old racist white man just might be so lonely and angry that he is willing to eat some fried rice from the chinks, let a chink drive his car, and try to resolve gang violence. (see the movie, you will understand, but see it on netflix, don't waste $10)

    My summary of this movie: spook, chink, gook, mick

    Talk about a weak ass plot.
    glad to see someone else is on the same page. i guess we're the only two that thought this was a horrible movie (WHICH IT WAS).

    i forgot about the scene where he was locked in the basement until you brought it up, and i realized how horrible his acting was. he looked more like a little kid trying to get out of his crib.

    sorry, bro. just thank me later for saving you two hours of your life and just watch it on cable. you'll walk out disappointed and not only will you ask to get a refund for your ticket but you'll also ask to get your money back for the popcorn you paid for.

    he's an old man. the second he siked them out with his hand, he would have gotten lit up if he was really in the hood. besides, he moves like he needs a diaper change, so i'm pretty sure some young cats can move a little quicker to handle his ass.
