Missed this in theaters, must Netflix.
Beautiful artwork. Was going to see this, but it was sold out the night I went. Will probably Redbox.
saw it in theaters, really enjoyed it, will probably netflix it
lmao @ "$250 Million in Consumer Retail Spending for Eastwood-Directed Films, 2000-2010" I saw this in theaters and it was decent but also very maudlin and dry and by the numbers for the most part. I will probably pick up just the DVD because I have most of Clint's films he directed on DVD, so I guess I am one of those aformentioned 'consumer spenders on eastwood-directed films'. But still putting that on the promo flyer is absurd because the film made no where close to $250 million worldwide and it's clearly intended to be some sort of dupe where you just see 250 MILLION.
Awesome cover art not so awesome film. I found it very boring. I expect more from clint and leo
I saw in theaters with high expectations and I wasn't disappointed at all. Great film and flawless DiCaprio performance as usual. Great cover art btw, I loved that poster.
The American public might not be interested but I want to see the movie though I like the standard dvd artwork better.
Great Blu-Ray artwork. Bold, yet subtle in its appearance. A rarity today. Probably will Netflix this. I'm actually really keen on the idea of Eastwood directing more films. I'd love to see him act too, but he seems to know a lot when behind a camera. Many greats are starting to go behind the camera nowadats. George Clooney and Brad Pitt to name some others.
Finally a Blu-ray cover that's cooler than the DVD, shame about the ugly banner at the top, I'm assuming it's not a cardboard backing that can be removed.
First of all, I love Clint Eastwood and Leonardo DiCaprio. Leo is one of my favorite actors of all time. I never saw the film J. Edgar, but I heard it was one of Clint Eastwood's weakest films. I heard it was decent, just not enough. Nevertheless, I'll still check this out. Such BEAUTIFUL blu-ray artwork! The DVD is equally as great.
