You have to admire him. This was Clint Eastwood playing yet another Clint Eastwood and deservedly raking in the Dollars – so familiar, so new. I loved it! Perhaps it's the self awareness again, self awareness of the cowboy hero, then the cowboy anti-hero, then the cop anti-hero. And, brilliantly we now have the old man anti-hero. No-one could do it better.
And of course long after the film ends you realise that after all the wry smiles, Mr Eastwood has put Clint in a coffin. If this was Clint's exit from the bright side of the camera it will be a pity, but what an exit!
