Knowing that most of the critics did not like this movie and that it was going to be very slow moving, I went to see it yesterday afternoon. I went alone (because I didn’t want to hear anyone’s complaints about it afterward). It was simply a subject, movie director (Eastwood) and actor (Damon) that I find interesting. Other than the disruptions caused by the elderly couple who sat behind me and felt the need to comment too loudly every once in a while to each other, I liked the movie. I know that I am really not much of a movie critic because I just love going to the movies, period. It was slow but I was prepared for that. The opening sequence was incongruously action/emotion packed to the rest of the movie, but I was prepared for that. I just liked it. I liked the characters and the resolution. I liked the acting and I liked the direction. Anyone else see it with an open mind?
