I know it's possibly a weird connection but I made the ending out to seem like Eastwood was content with the way his career has gone. It kind of drew that parallel for me.
You're on a roll, Cole, with all those great and well-respected films! Awesome to see you catching up so fast on all different kinds of cinema! I admire your hard work, my friend.
Glad you liked Gran Torino. I love it myself too. Great film.

Yeah, I'm working hard but I've enjoyed quite a bit of these. Slowly getting there with you guys
I might be a bit generous with this rating, but this one clicked for me in a way that no other superhero movie (The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy etc.) has before.
I never thought I was a fanboy, until I noticed I get upset when people say something is better than GotG.
Cassavetes doesn't disappoint! Although I thought that A Woman Under the Influence was better, this wasn't too far off. If Gena Rowlands gave a powerhouse performance in Influence, Gazzara almost matched her in this. His role as the suave, firm-but-fair strip joint owner is played to absolute perfection as he sets about to clear a gambling debt. Watched in blu ray it really is a beautiful experience and Cassavetes makes this so gripping, realistic and intense (as always) that it reels you right in and makes for such an engaging experience.
On a side note, Flo, played by Timothy Carey is one of the most psycotic characters ive seen in a long time!
