Re: Is Clint Eastwood a better director than he is an actor?

Mark, Eastwood has two Oscars for Directing. He won for both "Unforgiven" and "Million Dollar Baby." He was also nominated but did not win for directing "Mystic River" and "Letters From Iwo Jima."

If you liked "Unforgiven," why don't you like those other films? More than anything else, "Gran Torino" thematically resembles "Unforgiven." They are both strong anti-violence films which show the...
