Before Clint Eastwood was an actor, he used to dig swimming pools for a living.
He said that he always wanted any movies he acted in, or directed, to be liked by
the guys with whom he used to dig pools.

I was struck by the scene when Walter has the bad guy on the ground and has his .45 pointed in his face.
The opening in that pistol looks big enough to stack quarters in, with a wrapper!!

Good movie, I liked it. Girlfriend hated the fact he let himself get gunned down.
Only thing I didn't like is when he humiliates the thug and then lets him live. Gang members are entirely wrapped up in their "machismo", and if you do anything to make them look like less of a man, expect them to round up some pals and make you pay for it.
He should have either taken care of him right then or not confronted him at all. Just my opinion at what should have happened in the movie, not advocating the killing of thugs anytime you deal with them.
