First, would I recommend this movie to average Joe? No
But to a moviebuff I will.
Let's get Clint out of the picture first. Trademark speak between his teeth: CHECK! Grumpy: CHECK! But here is were the fun begins for me as a movie buff, knowing well that he was told that he was going nowhere delivering his lines like that I agree. Line delivery by Clint in this movie is bad, youthful, stiff and over the top. If someone would have told him that in 10 years he would be a rising star and in 50 he would be known all over the world, I belive he would've smacked that person in the face, writing it down to an insult.
He performs better when the characters emotions are toned down which is highly noticable and the star shines through just a brief notice of what's to come.
Regarding the film and script it's stupid. Trained soldiers doing all kinds of stupid stuff that if this was a modern war epic would make people cringe.
The version I was watching had subtitles that were totally of with the dialogue, something that just added another dimension to it.
Not for everyone, will not watch ever again.
4/10.
