I liked the film fairly well. A lot of people are saying that Clint Eastwood was too old for this role, and, well, they're right. I realize that he's playing a character who is 70-ish, rather than his true 90-ish. But even so, a character who moves the way Eastwood does, and who has had a broken back, well, I don't believe he can make a living breaking wild mustangs. Clint is still a talented actor and director, so with some minor suspension of disbelief, you can enjoy the film. The child actor was adequate. I do have to rave about the performance of the lovely Natalia Traven. She was probably the best part of the movie.
